Club library

In order to avoid missing out on bridge while in lockdown I ordered a couple of books from The Bridge Shop at Willoughby. Normally I like to flick through a book before buying it so I was thrilled that on their website you can download "Samples" of some of the books - usually the first couple of chapters.

This month we focus on the basic openings and responses.  Three books are recommended - Improvers Bridge by Derrick Browne, Play Bridge 2 by Joan Butts and Bidding by Audrey Grant

In his Original Judgment at Bridge, Mike Lawrence gave us a lot of great advice on how to think at the Bridge Table.

In Judgment at the Bridge Table 2, Mike continues with his guidance on how to approach the game.

Listen to his counsel and you will become a better player and a more difficult opponent.

Two books are now in the library on the Weak 2 opening and partner responses.

A few smaller books have been donated to the Club on various topics.

These two books cover this month's lessons on Cue bidding and takeout Xs - these two systems will enable you and your partner to respond clearly so that you can be competitive and decisive during the session.

Inferences at Bridge by Marshall Miles.

In this book you will learn where to look for those clues and more importantly how to draw the correct information from them. The tell tale clues are there just waiting to be noticed. Every time a defender plays a card, declarer receives information.

Similarly, everything that declarer does can be turned to advantage by alert defenders. There is even vital information by thinking about what a player does NOT do!
