Most beginning bridge books are written by truly gifted experts who have long forgotten what it was like to be a beginner. They have understandably forgotten that learning bridge is akin to learning a second language. As a result, most beginning bridge books are written in "bridge-speak" and the beginner has the same experience as anyone watching a foreign film without sub-titles. This book is unique in that the author was a real recent beginner when writing this book and knew how to convert "bridge-speak" into language a beginner can understand. Because of the need to teach in the same language that the beginner speaks, the author employs an effective technique for introducing bridge terms for the first time. For example, the term VULNERABLE is first introduced capitalized in bold, followed by a clear definition of the term. Also, a robust 8 page Glossary is provided. With this approach, the beginner becomes "fluent" in bridge as he is being introduced required bridge skills. Enjoy Beginning Bridge is also unique in that it recognizes that a bridge player must be prepared to assume four different roles, requiring four different skill sets depending in which of the four seats he is assigned. To prepare the beginner for this challenge, each one of these four roles is assigned a separate chapter. The book's format is specifically designed for a beginner, with three separate sections within each major chapter: a narrative that explains the specific bridge skill that is introduced; a matrix that summarizes the guidelines discussed in the narrative; and, lastly, a series of quizzes which include solutions and a "lessons learned" section that transcends the specific problem. Perhaps the biggest challenge for a beginning bridge book is the narration of all the bridge skills needed to enable the beginner to participate in the END-GAME, the final event in bridge which includes the playing of the tricks.

Rese�a del editor

This book is unique in three ways: First, it recognizes that bridge is a social game, requiring two sets of partners. Since partners need to signal what they hold in their hand, it is necessary for them to establish an agreement as to what they will do in certain situations. This agreement is achieved by holding a conversation with your partner. Most bridge books only go that far on this subject. This book presents a virtual conversation between two people who have never met and they are telling each other what they know and what they do not know. This conversation is the "glue" that keeps them together. Secondly, the book recognizes that there are 4 players involved and that each player has a different role depending on which seat they occupy. For, example the First Seat always opens the bidding. Each seat has a chapter dedicated to that role. Finally, everything up to the play of the tricks is foreplay. This book shows 13 full deals that include the play of 13 tricks in each full deal including a strategy analysis section and a lessons learned.
