Planning the Play of a Bridge Hand

The book on which this CD-ROM is based won the 2010 ABTA Book Of The Year Award. Now in interactive software, the user can play through all the examples onscreen, going through them as many times as necessary to understand the principles involved. Beginning bridge players are taught some of the basic techniques of declarer play: suit establishment, ruffing losers, the finesse, and so forth. This course, starting from the basics, explains how to make a plan as a declarer. By the end, students will be comfortable with slightly more advanced material, such as entry management and elementary counting.
