Bridge Problems for a New Millenium

Összefoglaló

Julian Pottage has been collecting and writing about bridge problems for many years, and this book consists of a collection of some of his favorites, some involving declarer play and some defense. For the most part, hitting upon the correct answer requires no great knowledge or special skill You simply need to apply a touch of common sense and search for all the clues on offer. Of course, you will come across the odd endplay and squeeze — but a book of this nature would not be complete without them. It shouldn't take you a thousand years to come up with the solutions — but you will spend some pleasant hours doing it as the new millennium gets under way.

JULIAN POTTAGE writes a monthly column for BRIDGE magazine in Britain. He is a qualified bridge teacher and an expert bidding forum panelist. His contributions to bridge theory include discovering two classes of squeeze and co-inventing a popular defense to 1NT. His books include Positive Defence (with Terence Reese) and the new Golden Rules series. As a player he has won three English nation-al titles and represented the England Youth team. He lives in a village in Hampshire, England.
