5.0 out of 5 stars Bridge players seeking better defense strategies will find this a fine pick, January 16, 2009

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Setting Trick: Practical Problems in Bridge Defense (Paperback)

THE SETTING TRICK: PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN BRIDGE DEFENSE offers a book of problems in defensive cardplay based on real events. The idea here is players aren't up against a perfect declarer - and these differences can allow for taking advantage of the declarer's mistakes. Bridge players seeking better defense strategies will find this a fine pick.
