## Description

Watson's Classic Book on The Play of the Hand at Bridge [Watson, Louis H.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Watson's Classic Book on The Play of the Hand at Bridge

Review: This is the classic on the subject. Highly recommended. - There is nothing better on the market today (Audrey Grant not withstanding). This is the classic of classics...the bible of play-of-the-hand, and should be read and understood by anyone who wants to become a competent and avid bridge player. You wont find the narrative cutesy or its "look" engaging. What's said is straight-forward and to the point with good examples that make sense. It doesnt have the modern "look" that publishers present in today's world. If you need that to learn things, try elsewhere. All aspects of play-of-the-hand are presented...from common ways to run various finesses to advanced strategies of squeeze plays and end plays. All topics include step by step examples. The book is meant to be studied not skimmed. If you want to be a serious bridge player, read this book slowly and understand what's said as you go. Highly recommended.
Review: Bridge card play, readable and interesting - My bridge club director called this the best and easiest to read bridge book ever written and I have to agree with her. Many bridge books are perfect cures for insomnia but this one is not, and while bidding styles have changed since the book was written, play of the hand has not. The book is divided into 2 main sections, play of the hand vs No Trump contracts and play of the hand vs suit contracts. It is not a book for people new to bridge but is instead for those wanting to improve their card play.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a classic.
*by N***S on August 27, 2024*

It was originally published in 1934 and doesn’t deal with conventions but the strategy of the game. He mostly uses 3 trump openers to explain his various strategies. Many of us are reading it now and gaining new insights. Highly recommended for serious bridge enthusiasts
