This was a great book to read. It talked about the deduction from several perspectives. Say how should a declarer deduce from the first lead, during the mid-play, discard from defenders etc. Inspiring and well-structured without much complicated concepts. Recommended book to read.

Mindbending as it gets and so fun. Took a while but devoured it and loved it all. Ralph approach—know it cold!! Keep reviewing these for a week or so before starting next one. Know it cover to cover. Fantastic questions and problems.
