Description
"The Bridge Technique Series is designed to take the reader through the most important aspects of card-play technique at bridge. Each book of the series focuses on a different topic, and wherever possible the tactics and strategy are considered from the point of view of both declarer and defenders. Many players know little more about the finesse other than how to handle an A-Q combination. This book covers the more complex finessing situations, including double finesses, two-way finesses, and the intra-finesse. Tricks with Finesses discusses how declarers can avoid finesses, how to choose among different finesse options as well as offering tips to defenders on how to lead declarer astray."--Back cover.
