Counting at Bridge – The big difference between the expert and the average player is that expert's ability to draw valid conclusions from the bidding and the play. One important ingredience is the abilty to count, but no higher mathematics is needed. If you can count to thirteen, you have what is needed to become a good bridge player. Lawrence shows how you put all pieces of evidence together to be able to produce declarer play and defense of top quality.
Defense – Defense is generally considered the hardest part of the game of bridge. Since you can't see your partner's cards, much of what you do will be based on assumptions and deductions. But the bidding, the opening lead and the plan declarer chooses give you lots of clues – if you know how to use them.
Conventions – Much have been written about conventions, and to decide which ones to add to your own system isn't easy. Lawrence has choosen some of the best and discusses in depth how to use them if you want to be a winner. Dozens of new conventions; hundreds of example deals; thousands of interactive quizzes.
The Two Over One System – The world's most popular bidding system is surely the Two over one system, which is based on five-card major suit openings and the response two over one as forcing to game. Lawrence shows which advantages you gain from such a structure and gives lots of examples how you find your best contract within this framework.
