Hidden Gem,

This review is from: Guide to Better Acol Bridge (Master Bridge Series) (Paperback)
British and U. S. bidding methods have cross fertilized one another for decades. Reading this effort by Klinger and Kambites offers an opportunity to join the party. The presentation often suffers from a tedious dryness only a bidding theorist could love. Yet, that dryness buys a concise description of a large, natural bidding system. As the authors present a wealth of information along with exercises, one may verify one's own learning experience.Hidden gem: Chapter 23 lays out the Modern Losing Trick Count hand evaluation methods clearly and concisely. Better, the presentation reaches sufficient depth so that one may add the technique to one's arsenal without further ado. Especially, for readers curious about methods across the pond, this volume deserves serious consideration.
