Book excerpt: The Bridge Movements Encyclopedia. Duplicate Bridge Schedules, History and Mathematics is an essential book for tournament directors as well as bridge players curious about the history of the game of duplicate bridge. This comprehensive volume supplies you with all the movements ever thought of and many hundreds of new ones. Included for each movement are the variations, modifications, origins, authors and history of its development. Each movement is then assessed for its measure of quality, called calibre. The author presents a brand new event type, the Scissor movement - run like any Howell movement. In this type of event the players play as pairs as usual, but also have their teammates as another pair, never meeting each other. This allows the event to be scored both as teams and pairs, producing a winning team and a winning pair. Duplicate bridge players will find the history of their favorite game most intriguing. The book delves into the lives of well-known figures such as John T. Mitchell and Edwin C. Howell. When did they live, what did they contribute to bridge, and what were the politics of their time? In addition, many lesser-known historical figures are examined for their contributions to the development of duplicate movements. For the mathematically inclined there are plenty of interesting oddities. The mathematics of balance of movements, giving the measure of quality, is thoroughly discussed. The controversial debate over movement quality, along with its history, is presented through the ideas and opinions of players and mathematicians. IAN McKINNON is a mathematician, expert bridge player, tournament director, author and computer professional. Through circumstance, around 1970, he started tournament directing at a major bridge club in Sydney which eventually led to him being the senior Tournament Director within the Australian Bridge Federation during the 1970s. He produced his first book, Bridge Directing Complete, in 1979. All those years of experience, and the last ten years of intense research and computer programming, have resulted in this book.

Book excerpt: "A great book . . . the last word on duplicate techniques." -Bridge World Enthusiastically endorsed by leading authorities, this advanced book on bridge will prove invaluable to any player who wants to improve his game. The author, a top-flight West Coast tournament player, takes up where most bridge experts leave off, dwelling not on fundamentals, but on the finer points and techniques needed to turn good players into superb ones. Mr. Miles deals more with exceptions and modifications rather than with general rules. He discusses match-point philosophy, hand evaluation, and forcing bids, with particular emphasis on slam bidding and competitive bidding. His chapter on "What's New At Bridge" covers the Roth-Stone system, the "Bulldog" system, Culbertson's asking bids, psychic bids, and "shooting." With clarity and authority, he has written an essential book for "greedy players who want to win far more than their fair share of the time." "An excellent new book. It is accurate, and I have to agree with practically all of Miles's ideas." -Oswald Jacoby

Download or read book Enjoy Beginning Bridge written by The Recent Beginner and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
