[Cover Photo] How the Experts Win at Bridge
Burt Hall and Lynn Rose-Hall
Each chapter highlights the key tools experts use to get the most out of their game: from judging what contract to reach and using the Law of Total Tricks in competitive auctions, to studying the bidding and the dummy to decide on a plan of attack for the defence at trick one.
