Deepen your understanding of the game and learn where not to follow conventions mindlessly in bidding, defense, and dummy play
Opening leads are the most difficult of all leads and the most important, and this flipper provides a sure way to making the right choice. Both Terence Reese and Roger Trezel were brilliant players and Reese possessed a legendary skill in imparting a great knowledge of bridge with supreme lucidity. As every keen bridge player knows, Ron Klinger is no slouch in playing and writing about bridge and is renowned as one of the world's leading bridge teachers. His achievement in incorporating the changes over the past two or more decades, particularly in bidding, into this treasury of bridge wisdom is on a par with the status of this great book.

'This book was first published some 30 years ago. In the ad interim bidding methods and styles have changed considerably. However, the wisdom of this book has weathered the years. Ron Klinger has brought the bidding style into the 21st century...the fresh version of the book has still the same sparkle and clarity that was in the original work.' -- Michael Brennan * Waterford Munster Express *
