Publisher's Synopsis
Bridge students quickly discover that 'basic bidding' will only get them so far. To improve it is necessary to master a certain number of bidding conventions, and be prepared both to play them and to play against them. Each of the books in this series covers a number of useful conventions, explaining them carefully along with numerous examples and quizzes to help the reader understand what is being learned. Included in this book: Stayman, Jacoby Transfers, Texas Transfers, Smolen, Four-Suit Transfers, Three-level Responses to a 1NT Opening Bid, Three Spades over 2NT and Lebensohl.
