Bridge the Silver Way by David Silver,Tim Bourke Pdf

David Silver's three books of humorous bridge stories have received terrific throughout the bridge world. In all of them, the hero is the author's alter ego, Professor Silver, first as a teacher in a community college, and then as a bridge consultant as he moves into the realms of literary parody. Astute readers will recognise allusions to the works of Hemingway, Conan Doyle, Dickens and others, while movie fans will enjoy the bridge versions of 'Citizen Kane', 'Casablanca' and 'Star Trek, TNG'. And when the professor takes on Death or the Devil in the ultimate post-mortem analysis, you just know who's going to come out a winner.

Challenge Your Declarer Play by Danny Roth Pdf

"So you think you're a good declarer? Most books on play take you up to the critical moment in a hand and then ask you to find the winning continuation. But at the table, there is nobody to give you that all-important nudge when an unexpected or difficult play is required, and that's the way the hands are presented in this book. The collection of problems here will test those who are confident they are good declarers and will enable more modest readers to improve their game."--Back cover

Inferences at Bridge by Marshall Miles Pdf

To be successful, a bridge player has to think like a detective, tracking down the distribution of the unseen hands. Although many players are oblivious to them, the tell-tale clues are there, just waiting to be noticed. They are there, just waiting to be noticed. They are there in the auction and in the opening lead. Every time a defender plays a card, declarer receives information. Similarly, everything that declarer does can be turned to advantage by alert defenders. There is even vital intelligence to be gained by thinking about what a player does not do! In this book, you will learn where to look for these clues, and more importantly, how to draw the correct inferences from them. From there, it is only a short step to making bids and plays based on those inference, and thereby becoming a much better player.

Pathways to Better Bridge Defense by Danny Roth Pdf

So you tend to be dealt very bad hands. I know exactly you feel! But, facing the facts of life and recognising that it is not your fault, you are going to have to accommodate this failing and improve your defence. It is a hard part of the game; even in international competitions, the standard of defensive play is, to put it kindly, modest. Yes, you will get plenty of reports of brilliances involving spectacular switches, deceptions, unblocks and discards of honours. But for every one of those, there are countless others in which the display would disgrace any beginners' class. I am going to assume that you are a regular club or tournament player who knows the basics of defence but who comes unstuck when it comes to situations where you have to work the hand out in detail. This book will help you to improve dramatically in this area. -- Danny Roth.
