DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith this latest book he has captured (and in understandable words) not only what it takes to win but the way to get there. In his 40 years as an author, editor, analyst and syndicated columnist, Frank Stewart has had a chance to discern the skills that make a winning player. The intent of this book is to help aspiring players improve by focusing on the factors that really determine how well they do. Most are basic, and anyone who has an ounce of ability and is intent on progressing can do so. The level of instruction in this book varies. Some material is elementary, some is more advanced and involves the type of logical thinking that winning bridge requires. Although his aim is to build a sound foundation, he also wants to give any reader who can excel the opportunity to do so.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvery Bridge player has heard the cliche that 'Bridge is a partnership game'. What does that actually mean? What is expected of you? Or put more strongly, what are your responsibilities from the very simple to the more difficult, across a myriad of common Bidding and Defensive positions? Captaincy for Advancing Bridge Players seeks to put the under-organized and under-discussed area of Captaincy squarely under the 'X' that marks the spot on your favorite pirate's map. There is plenty of bounty to be had for the players that find the timely ways of how to provide or seek information, and know just when it is time to make a critical decision for the partnership. General Concepts are laid out and related theory is discussed, that provide the foundation for Advancing players to learn 'how to fish' across many different looking but related Bridge circumstances. Innumerable example hands then progressively allow you to quiz yourself. These hands are then analyzed in detail so that as you experience the repeated application of these fundamental Captaincy Concepts, your Bridge skills are gradually both broadened and deepened. Having quiz hands is a challenging and fun way to help you learn this very challenging and fun game from your favorite armchair! So, do you do your fair share?
