Delightful Bridge

This book is aimed at improving the skill level of intermediate and advanced players to the next higher level in the ladder. The forty hands that follow are taken from actual play. The bidding is essentially Standard American or in some cases Precision.

The deals are not meant to test your play, defense, or bidding skills in the game. Rather, they explain how the experts solved the problems as they arose at the table, by their experience and class. If you are able to understand and appreciate the different techniques adopted by the experts, you will certainly gain a new insight into their mind. This is bound to reflect in your performance too.

There is nothing esoteric about the deals. Barring a few, most of the hands require straight-forward technique. They may be the bread and butter type, but you will find them contain many useful ideas. Some of the deals may even puzzle the experts and the world-class as well.
