This book doesn't tell you how to play, it tells you how to think like a professional. And it does it really well.

The power of the book is demonstrated in the first chapter. Here you will learn, as declarer, how to place many of the missing honours before you've played to the first trick. Very occasionally you can place EVERY missing honour before you've played to the first trick.

The remainder of the book follows the play of the hand and observes the honour cards and discards played by the opponents. Through observation and deduction you are led in the quest to discover each opponent's distribution and the placement of all the honour cards. When you've got the full picture you can devise your best plan to make your contract. You have the keys to deciding which way to take finesses, whether to play for the drop, how and when to relinquish the lead etc.

The book's aim is people who want to move from "Intermediate" to "Advanced" status. And it will help you do just that.

Interesting for the casual player, but essential if you're prepared to put in the effort to get the most out of yourself.

If you don't determine the opponents' distribution and the location of all the honour cards, and you want to work to find them, buy the book. It works...

If you want to go into the mind of experts and learn the good habits of the top bridge players, then this is the book. You can take your time over the examples, because the solution is not shown in part or whole, before you have done your analysis. Basically, it is a perfect book for learning the art of being declarer.

I believe there is a 'new' edition of this book but I purchased a used hardback one and very pleased I did. Not like the usual bridge books on bidding or play, I simply highly recommend it.
