Product Description

Product Description
First published around 40 years ago, this has become a classic on bridge. Bidding systems come and go, but the mechanics of card play do not change. The focus is upon everyday situations and how to handle them, and chapter-by-chapter exercises are included to try out new skills.

From the Publisher
All time classic book on card play.
Probably the best textbook on the play of the cards ever published. Written with clarity and verve, the authors show how any player who masters the mechanics of card play also masters the art of being ‘lucky’. Suitable for players of nearly every standard.

"Rereading Card Play Technique is like visiting an old friend you haven’t seen for years. It’s a delight to rediscover just how good this 40-year old book really is." The ACBL Bulletin

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything else is an imitation, 21 Feb 2003
By I. Viehoff "iviehoff" (Chalfont St Giles, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once you have the basic hang of the game, then to get better you have to learn technique. In bridge, as in photography or rock climbing, there are basic techniques, and you will never get anywhere unless you know them and can apply them. The technique also gives you the framework and vocabulary to enable you to understand what the experts are talking about. Learning means work, but only geniuses can work all these things out for themselves without the benefit of teaching material.
The joy of this book is that Mollo worked out the simplest and clearest way to convey the technique to the reader. The fact that he is the best writer the game has ever seen is a bonus. No one has improved on this book.
This book is teaching material, not entertainment. It is not for absolute beginners. But if you have been playing for a while, you can draw trumps, establish a suit and take a finesse, but do not know what "elimination and throw-in" is, then this book is for you.
If you can't learn it from this book, then learning from a book is not the way for you to learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bridge book ever, 15 Jun 2003
I have had this book for nearly 10 years and am still learning from it! It is truly brilliant and for once, not dependent on any particular bidding style. Indeed one of my friends calls it his "Bridge Bible"! I would strongly recommend it to any bridge player keen to improve their play.

5.0 out of 5 stars I just want to read it again and again and again........, 18 May 2000
A great book for those die hard fans who wish to improve further in this mind challenging game. Made me more aware of those table techniques; card play, defence and bidding! Definately thumps up!

No Index and No Glossary (which is quite essential as bridge language is used frequently). But most annnoying is that only page numbers appear on each page. Read more
