Bridge Master Vs Bridge Amateur
What makes a bridge expert and why does he always come out on top compared to the average club player? No, it's not the ability to execute esoteric squeezes and endplays - they simply don't come up enough to account for the way the experts consistently win against weaker opposition. This book is a collection of deals that illustrate the difference between the expert player and the would-be expert. They involve decisions that will come up in every club game, situations in bidding, play and defense where the amateur will often go wrong, but the expert never will. A study of the concepts in this book will take the reader a long way from amateur status towards actually becoming an expert player.
About the Author:Mark Horton (London) is an internationally known player and journalist with more than a dozen books to his credit. He is editor of BRIDGE magazine in the UK.
