“Many important corners
are explored that are not available elsewhere in the literature.” “Boehm does include all
of the key elements [of defense] .... Penalty doubles are covered
comprehensively.” |
|||
· Description
This book teaches the principles
of good defense. When you feel reasonably confident about your ability to
defend, you will feel more secure in doubling the opponents. Successful penalty
doubles are a sure way to improve your performance. Using the Socratic method,
the book links defense to penalty doubles in a sequential progression. This
book will have strong appeal to tournament players of intermediate ability.

· Description
Part I of this book will equip
you with a variety of useful, easy-to-master bidding tools to help you and
partner discover when to grab the 3NT brass ring, and, just as important, when
to avoid it. Reaching good 3NT contracts doesn't confer an automatic
bonus-there is that niggling rule about needing to make what you bid. So, Part
II is dedicated to the play of 3NT. Since you are apt to defend 3NT twice as
often as you declare (50% versus 25%), defensive counters are given full
weight.

· Description
Nothing exemplifies the
keen competitive spirit of tournament bridge better than the penalty double.
Anytime a final contract is doubled, the stakes are raised—not just the score
but the implied mano a mano challenge. When you acquire a feel for opportunistic
penalty doubles, you have added a potent weapon to your arsenal. Your courage
to double freely and wisely will make you a respected and feared opponent. And
if the opponents occasionally make a doubled contract against you, be consoled
by what a mentor taught me: if they never make a doubled contract, you aren’t
doubling often enough. This book, like my books on demon doubling and 3NT, is
intended for the intermediate and advanced intermediate club and tournament
player.
