"This book covers basic bridge principles relating to all three aspects of bridge - bidding, defending and declaring a hand. I have imparted ideas that I have learned in over twenty years of playing high-level tournament and rubber bridge.
In each chapter, bridge hands that actually arose in tournament play are used to illustrate the underlying bridge concepts. In addition, there is a summary of the key points and a quiz at the end of each chapter to test the reader’s understanding of that chapter’s ideas. "
