BRIDGE FOR WINNERS
My goal in writing it is to get you be every bit as enthusiastic and involved in playing the game as I am. Do you know why? It is because over the years I have noticed that new bridge players that do not understand the game get very frustrated and give up playing. Its very simple
If you do not understand the game then you are going to be bored by it. If you are bored you will get frustrated and if you are frustrated you will give it up. And you could be giving up the opportunity of having the best fun you have had in years.
I will take the frustration out of playing and by the time you have finished reading Bridge for Winners you will have a total understanding of how to play bridge.
In Bridge For Winners I have included a ton of graphics and pictures of actual card hands and plays so that you are never ever lost for one second about what I am talking about in the text of the book.
The reason I have included so many pictures and illustrations is because these methods work. You will not only read what I say, but you will be able to see what I mean
Although memory does play a part when it comes to helping you be a good bridge player, pictures can sometimes say a thousand words! There are photographs taken at my own card table to help show you how to play the game.
Whether You Are a Beginner or An "Old Hand" at Playing Bridge You Have Just Found The Most Concise, Informative and Thorough "Bible" On The Topic Available!
Ok, you say, I can already play, so why get a book?
One of the best things about this book is that even if you have been playing for years I am sure that everytime you pick it up you are going to find something new and interesting to read and learn It is the ultimate reference book about the game. You can read and re-read the text to make sure that you "got it" if there is something that you don't understand about the game.
Bridge for Winnersalso serves as an excellent "evergreen" type reference book that any player can turn to again and again if they have forgotten any of the rules or something useful about how the game should be played.
Although I mention contract, auction and Russian Whist in the ebook the game that is the focus of the ebook is CONTRACT BRIDGE and specifically RUBBER BRIDGE which is the game that we all sometimes play around the kitchen table with our friends. That, in fact, is why it is also known as KITCHEN BRIDGE.
In Bridge for Winners you will learn all about the difference between:
- Rubber Bridge
- Duplicate Bridge
- Chicago Bridge
Each type of bridge is a form of contract bridge and each uses a slightly different scoring system.
Of the three, types, Rubber bridge is most commonly played with the neighbors. It is duplicate bridge that is usually played by long term bridge partners in tournaments, bridge club matches and in larger competitions.
So to keep the ebook as simple as possible I focus on how to play Rubber Bridge as it is the game from which the other two forms evolved.
First of all I introduce you to all the basics about playing bridge including...
- What the best type of playing cards are for playing rubber bridge
- How many packs of cards should I buy to start playing
- How to spread the two packs faced down on the table to begin the game
- How to use the "cutting of the cards" to decide where the individual players should sit at the table
- How to choose the best place to sit at the table if you get first
- The basics of the four distinct phases of the game including the Deal, the Bidding, the Play and finally The Scoring
- How the cards should be shuffled and cut by the dealer

- How to take a trick which is one of the most basic ambitions of all plays

...and much much more valuable information about how to launch yourself forward in this game and make the right moves so that you are prepped to win and start to enjoy the game
Do You Understand The Auction?
Learn How to Bid on Tricks Like a Tournament Pro!
One of the most challenging things about playing any type of bridge is understanding the auction.
Once again, using the example of how Rubber Bridge works I answer all of your questions about the auction phase of the game including --
- How are the points in the hand I am holding counted
- How do my partner and I decide how many tricks we are going to take
- What is meant by "fulfilling the contract" when you play a game of bridge

- How the initial play in the game proceed
- What and who is the "game dummy"
- What and who is the "declarer" in a partnership
- Which player in a partnership should be the one to physically play the cards on behalf of a partnership?
...and a lot more information about how to master all aspects of the bidding and fulfilling contract aspect of this game.
They say that bridge is a game that is 50% strategy and 50% luck!
I contend that it is all luck if you do not have a bit of strategy behind your play.
I don't just make sure you understand the mechanics of playing bridge.
I also make sure that you are intuitive and have a strategic understanding about how to win at bridge by giving you some great tips about playing including --
- The importance of learning how to count in fours
- How to develop a photographic memory so you can keep track of the pictures that are being played

- How to keep aware of the trump cards that your opponents might have available to them
- How to determine what your strongest suits are after you have drawn trumps and how to play them strategically

- And very importantly, how to practice teamwork with your partner
- How to subtly let your partner know whether or not the lead card is good for you or not.
... and many more strategies for getting through each play the best of your ability and winning. That means you are not playing through blind faith but actually using techniques and strategies which I will teach you to master each and every play.
