2.0 out of 5 starsSomething and Nothing, and Horses for Courses
By SolihullRog on 5 Jun. 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I class myself as a good intermediate. I play at a club every week, and almost always come in the top half. But, never really been taught bridge (just picking it up in the coffee bar at Uni), I've been looking to learn a few techniques that have passed me by. These included the Law of Total Tricks and the Losing Trick Count.

This book gives a variety of tips - so you understand the basic technicalities behind various bidding methods. But you don't get a full perception of everything that's going on, or an influence on your reasoning. If you are an aspiring intermediate and curious about a convention or aspect of bidding, I'd recommend going straight to a book that's dedicated to it.

So I've now got The Modern Losing Trick Count by Ron Klinger (same author as this book), and To Bid or Not To Bid by Larry Cohen.

For less than £20, these two could improve your game far more than "How good is your Bridge Hand?"

3.0 out of 5 stars How many times can you recycle the same old ideas? 8 Dec. 2000
By Gavin Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
Ron Klinger is one of the most prolific bridge authors. Every author of bidding books seems to have their own small variations on the main theme of Five-Card Majors, Acol or whatever. But the problem is that the reader wants to build up their bidding arsenal -- they don't want to have to partly destroy it in order to incorporate a new convention. So they like to stick with the same author where possible. In that respect, Klinger is the biggest brand in the brdige bidding world. Add his name to any book and you're guaranteed a much bigger audience.
So how much of this is written by Klinger (who lives in Australia, by the way) and how much by Kambites (a UK resident)? The opening example of chapter 3 gives a clue -- Klinger on his own would certainly value the hands, after finding a trump fit, according to shortage points, not length points, arriving at a valuation of 16, not 13 as given in the book.
I enjoyed this book, and particularly like the chapters on the stuff Klinger hasn't really covered elsewhere, that is, Fit Jumps and the Offence-to-Defence ratio. Other material about Judgement and Hand Valuation etc has bee covered elsewhere - e.g. in Tony Forrester's four videos.
The trouble for Ron is that he has written at least two definitive manuals on bidding -- the Standard American / Acol volume, and the Duplicate volume. Those two books describe the system that many readers have taken as the basis for their partnership agreement. But of course they want to learn new tricks, and they would probably prefer to buy small addenda like this, rather than buy new editions of the original masterwork. In a way, there are two many bridge books on the market -- ideally, most players want just one on bidding and one on play -- but not enough really good ones.
