Von der hinteren Coverseite

Bridge is one of the most challenging card games. It is truly a mind sport, as taxing on the brain as a decathlon is on the body. This book is the ultimate introduction. Bridge for Beginners starts with the basics, even suggesting that the reader remove the jokers from a full deck of cards. Afterwards, the book quickly progresses, and by the end, the novice player will be ready to go as far as desired, whether it be to social bridge, club bridge, competitive bridge, or audition for the national team. The book, like the game, is divided into two parts: the bidding - or auction - and the play of the cards. Each is examined closely, in a step-by-step method that greatly simplifies one of the most complex card games. Key chapters include: -The Scoring -The Bidding-Opening and Responding -Conventions -No Trump Contracts -Finesses With valuable advice on evaluating hands, working with your partner, and even spotting a cheater, Bridge for Beginners is the only guide a novice will ever need.
