A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following chapters on Bridge, which stands today without a rival in interest as a game of cards, are rather suggestive than didactic. It is impossible to play any intellectual game by machinery, and therefore extremely difficult to lay down hard and fast rules for things which must be largely matters of individual judgment. For the beginner, a brief statement of the broad principles of the game is enough. He must first study each part of its strategy as a unit, and should be satisfied if he can readily solve the problem presented by the individual trick before him; familiarity with the methods which have proved to be sound in theory and successful in practice being his best guide. The more advanced player wants examples of the management of difficult situations, and illustrations of the manner in which the play of the whole hand is planned and carried out, contingencies being foreseen and provided for which are quite beyond the grasp of the novice. Both classes of players will find ample material for their consideration in the following pages.
