The author begins this thorough discussion of a neglected but vital topic by examining the real purpose of defensive signalling, and the basic kinds of signals that are available. He goes on to recommend a comprehensive set of signalling agreements, and analyzes more complex situations in the light of these agreements. Most of the chapters are followed by a quiz, and the answer to each signalling problem includes a full 52-card diagram to demonstrate the effectiveness of the recommended signal. The book finishes with a chapter that looks at the signalling methods of eight world-class pairs, with examples of their methods in action. A book any player who is looking to improve will want to read.

Multi-time world champions Karen McCallum and Kit Woolsey explain their relay system, KK Relay, which they have used and perfected for several years. For readers not familiar with relay systems, the relay concept is quite simple: instead of making a descriptive bid, one of the partners makes a call that asks a question. His partner answers that question. That's it! Many such systems are obtuse and difficult to remember, but KK Relay has been structured in a way that both eases memory burden and increases efficiency. A must read for any system wonk.

Defensive Signals & Leads is the first book in a series of publications designed for the student of bridge.

It teaches all of the common defensive methods, and more importantly, how to properly implement each method. You will learn how to properly use attitude, count and suit-preference signals as well as how and when each of the signals change depending on which card the declarer plays or calls for, information learned from the auction, or what the dummy holds. Defense is half the game. You cannot be a successful bridge player without a sound understanding of defensive leads and signaling principles.
