World champion Mike Lawrence teaches you the critical skill of card location in contract bridge: how to determine which cards your opponents are holding based on what they did or didnt bid and what theyve led or havent led. Learn to spot and interpret clues from the opening bid on. He tells you what a bridge player should think about, why, and how. Each chapter explains a principle and gives examples. All chapters but the last, which is about reading subtle tells and signs from your opponents, have a quiz section to help you practice techniques. Applying Mikes expert logic as each card is played will point you to the likely location of the remaining unplayed cards. If you follow his tips and concentrate on counting, distribution and applying deductive reasoning, your bridge game will greatly improve.

This revised and expanded edition examines bridge auctions where the opponents bid something and you have the opportunity to either let them have it or to balance. The cost of not balancing can be huge, but you must weigh the cost of passing against the cost of bidding and getting a bad result. Lawrences discussion of hand evaluation and planning a balancing auction goes beyond generic rules. Hundreds of examples help you develop judgment

My second book was Judgment at Bridge, a book that looked at judgment, a quality that goes beyond mere rules. Its something that you learn in bits and pieces, not in great gobs all at once. In Judgment at Bridge, I took my 16 years of experience and put them into the book, hopefully making the introduction to judgment easier than if you had to get it one bid, one card, one disaster, and one success at a time.It was nice to have Alfred Sheinwold write an introduction to it.Things change and today, more and better judgment is needed to keep up with changes in bidding and play. Well, not so much in play and defense but there definitely have been changes in bidding.Judgment at Bridge 2 is more than a sequel. It takes all of Judgment at Bridge and adds to it. Bridge is still not a game of rules. It wasnt back in 1976 and it isnt now. It wont be in 2040, either. Bridge is a game of guidelines and ongoing experiences. In Judgment at Bridge 2, I will show you how to approach the game.What do you need to be a better player?What do you need to be a more difficult opponent?There are a lot of things you can do to achieve both.In addition, I am including a chapter offering opinions on various conventions that you should consider now, conventions you should consider shortly, and conventions and treatments that should be removed from your convention card.There are many aspects to bridge and each comes with different issues.
