Bidding systems come and go but the mechanics of card play do not change. First published almost 50 years ago, 'Card Play Technique' has triumphantly fulfilled the prediction of Bridge Magazine - 'a book which will be handed down to generations of players as the best possible approach to card play'. Complex coupe, which rarely occur, receive little prominence in this book. Rather, the authors concentrate on the plays which win rubbers and bring in the match points. In every chapter, and in the exercises which follow, the spotlight is on everyday situations and how to handle them. In particular any determined Intermediate player should aspire to the art of card-reading - of 'seeing' the hands of the other players. Written with clarity and verve, this classic textbook shows how a player who masters the mechanics of card play also masters the art of 'being lucky'.
