Take All Your Chances At Bridge
Eddie Kantar £12.95
160 pages, paperback
Aimed at Intermediate players
Winner of 2010 ABTA Book of the Year: Intermediate
Selecting the best line of play as declarer
is not easy. Most novices know
something about basic odds and
percentages, and can often find a line
that offers a reasonable chance of
success. However, the expert skilfully
combines options. So rather than
putting all his eggs in one basket, he will ‘stay alive’, squeezing out
every extra chance. In this book of play problems, Kantar shows
the reader how to do this – there is always a line of play that will
allow you take all your chances, and bring home your contract.
Take All Your Chances At Bridge 2 - Eddie Kantar £11.95
In this sequel, Kantar presents a new collection of play
problems. Again, the trick is to combine as many possible lines
as possible to optimise your chances of making the contract.
Full of Kantar’s inimitable humor and extra tips, as well as lots
of good bridge, this one is another sure winner.
The Rodwell Files
Eric Rodwell & Mark Horton
£17.95
Aimed at Advanced players
400 pages, paperback
Eric Rodwell's contributions to
bidding theory are well-known,
but in this ground-breaking
book he reveals for the first
time his unique approach to
the play of the cards.
First, he describes and explains the process for
deciding on a line of play — using concepts such as +L
positions, tightropes, trick packages and Control Units
as well as exploring more standard themes such as
counting winners, losers, and distribution. Included
here too is a checklist of 'defogging questions' to get
you back on track when your analysis gets bogged
down. Then he moves on to a host of innovative ideas
in cardplay, strategies and tactics that can be used by
declarer or defenders, each one illustrated with reallife
examples from top-level play. Many of these ideas
will be new to anyone below the bridge stratosphere.
Finally, under the heading 'DOs and DON'Ts', Rodwell
talks about the mental side of the game: areas where
players often go wrong in their approach to the
problem at hand, areas that mark the key differences
between an average player and a successful one.
The original 'Rodwell File', the collection of notes on
which this book is based, has been in existence for
more than twenty years, but it is only now that the
author is prepared to allow his 'secrets' to become
public knowledge.

The Abbot and the
Sensational Squeeze
David Bird £10.99
128 pages, paperback
Bridge fiction
Like all of the other works in
this immensely humorous
series, this book follows the
adventures of the fictional
bridge playing monks of the
order of St. Titus. Each chapter
sees the monks in some
bridge situation where they play a number of hands.
The bidding is normally English Acol but this is
secondary to the play of the hands which is where the
interesting bridge problems can be found.
Also available in the Abbot series: Celestial Cardplay
£10.99, Cardinal Sins £12.99, Doubled and Venerable
£12.99, Miracles of Card Play £10.99, Heavenly Contracts
£10.99, Unholy Tricks £10.99, Divine Intervention £10.99

The Hog Takes to Precision
Victor Mollo £11.95
Bridge Fiction
160 pages, paperback
Just about every bridge player has
read Mollo’s Bridge in the Menagerie,
a book that is in everyone’s top ten.
Towards the end of his life, Mollo
continued to write stories about the
same well-loved characters (the
Hideous Hog, the Rueful Rabbit,
Oscar the Owl, et al.), but some
appeared only in the pages of obscure magazines, while
others were never published. Now, for the first time, these
lost Menagerie gems are available in book form. Victor Mollo
is everyone’s favorite bridge humorist, and a genuinely new
book from him will be greeted as something to be treasured.
What Should Have Happened
Andrew Robson £13
252 pages, hardback
Aimed at Social/Intermediate players
Andrew Robson is Britain’s best
known Bridge player. He has been
the columnist of The Times since
2000, where his daily nuggets have
inspired tens of thousands. It is his
Friday columns, aimed somewhat at
the less experienced player, that this
book is based. In this long awaited
sequel to his Common Mistakes - and How to Avoid Them,
Andrew takes you through a well-structured 251-deal journey
through all basic areas of the game, learning form typical
mistakes. What happened - and what should have happened.
Deadly Endplay
Ken Allan £11.95
200 pages, paperback
Bridge Fiction
Aimed at all standards
of player
If Miss Marple’s village had
boasted a bridge club, it
would have been like the
one in Pemberton, the
setting for this murder
mystery novel. The story
unfolds at the slow pace of
life in a small rural town, and whether there even was
a murder is part of the mystery. The game of bridge
is closely interwoven with the lives of the people in
Pemberton - we meet the characters partly through
bridge columns from the local paper, and get to see
how their personae at the table differs from their
everyday lives. The title of the book relates to a deal
that comes up in a club game, and also refers to how
the murder, if it was a murder, was committed.
