Author: August Boehm
Doubling for penalties increases the stakes and raises the blood pressure. For this you need confidence, and that is where tight defense plays a crucial role. Good defenders are willing to risk more penalty doubles. Demon Doublers are not born they rise from the ranks of Demon Defenders. That is why this book begins with defense, to build a confident foundation for doubling. Part II explains when to double (and when not to) and shows how defending doubled contracts, especially partials, has a rhythm of its own. When you have absorbed the lessons in this book, be prepared for a change in your bridge life. You will win more-a lot more.
