Published 6 December 1993
This is the third title in the "Expert Bridge" series, which aims to bring the original beginner up to a standard of competence in general bridge play and bidding. The main emphasis lies in play and defence and includes declarer play at no-trump contracts and at trump contracts, and defence play against no-trump contracts and against trump contracts. The bidding section progresses from the first two rounds of bidding against silent opposition to a detailed analysis of competitive auctions, with the accent on avoiding careless mistakes.
