Bridge enlightened,
By Sandra Loos "Sandi" (Kansas City, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bridge: 25 Ways to Be a Better Defender (Paperback)
The first book I've read that explains to me 'why' a certain defense works. I have a hard time memorizing rules, but I can understand logic and the logic provided by the author makes it much easier to apply the rules - especially in situations where a little creativity is needed in order to defend a contract.

Bridge Defender,
By
This review is from: Bridge: 25 Ways to Be a Better Defender (Paperback)
It is an excellent book. The subject is difficult to define a set
of rules. However, this book tries perhaps too hard to force a variety of conventions which leads to some confusion. Nevertheless, the book is very useful and should be on the bookself with other bridge books.
