"Can it be right to jeopardize the contract for the sake of a dubious overtrick? Can it be wise to play deliberately against the odds? When is it safe to gamble? When is it sound to be unorthodox? Hugh Kelsey leaves no question unanswered. Better still he teaches the reader how to master the technique of duplicate and find the answers himself..."
"...with some 200 vivid examples, Kelsey analyses one by one the problems of bidding, dummy play and defence in the light of ... match-point scoring. He covers the entire field, from the opening lead in a part-score contract to the advance sacrifice against a grand slam."
Check an example from this 1970s intermediate level book to see if HW Kelsey Match-Point Bridge (Faber Paperback, 1979) from the Club library might feed your learning urge. While the book is almost fifty years old, and there are some older style expressions, its readable bridge analysis of the play and bidding tactics is just as relevant as ever.
