Step-By-Step Deception in Defence

by Barry Rigal

Deception is an essential part of a defender's armoury in bridge. Declarer needs to place the opposition's card but the constructive auction yields no clues as to the holding of each opponent. This guide emphasizes the opportunities for deception provided by the opening lead and by partner's following play at trick one. It then moves on to examine ways to trick the opposition during the later stages of play, such as preventing declarer blocking or holding up on a losing finesse. This book is the companion volume to Step-By-Step: Deceptive Declarer Play.
