Bridge
It Pays to be Difficult
Whether you play at a club or primarily online, most of your bridge will be at matchpoints. Those who do not vary their strategy to this form of scoring may do well enough, but they will never excel. This book contains over 200 deals, mostly from world championship matchpoint play. You will learn from giants of the game how to finish at the top of the field. The deals are brought to life with some 80 photographs of the world-class players in action. Adopting the tactics and mindset outlined in this book will not only help you win consistently, it will also make the game a lot more fun!
