Easier Done Than Said: Brilliancy at the Bridge Table - Paperback

by Prakash Paranjpe (Author), P. K. Paranjape (Author)

The beauty of great card play at bridge is something we can all admire, even if we can't all aspire to the heights reached by top-class players. Some of the greatest players seem almost to operate instinctively, and most of us probably feel that we could never hope to play at that level. Perhaps, though, if we understood more about their thought processes, it might be possible. The author presents 50 problems in play and defence taken from tournament play, giving the reader a chance to solve them for himself before any discussion takes place. Each problem is analysed, sometimes in great detail, to show how the logic of the situation, when looked at correctly, can lead players at any level to the 'right' solution. But in each case, the reader may be left feeling that the neat, elegant solution is 'easier done than said'!
