Customer Reviews

Tough and Long

For Intermediate Plus/Advanced players. Perhaps 350 problems in 24 chapters covering all aspects of defense. You will be exposed to many types/categories of defensive problems. Such as: - opening leads - signaling - inferences from bidding (shape, HCP) - counting the hand (shape, HCP) - avoiding end plays - 2nd hand High - Ducking - Giving Declarer a losing option - Carding technique (pinning/smother play) Many of the hands took me several minutes to think about. Not that I could do that at the table, but it helps focus you on what the correct thought processes are. Very worthwhile book

excellent book in defence

I have improved a lot after I got this book. It's very good for advanced players.
