10 More Ways to Improve Your Bridge

David Bird
Summary
In the area of bidding, the Jacoby 2NT convention is described-the most popular way of showing a strong major-
suit raise and investigating slam possibilities. When bidding slams, it is critical to identify the presence or
otherwise of the six key cards-the four aces and the kingqueen of trumps. Roman Key-card Blackwood allows
you to do this. Two important variations, Kickback Blackwood and Exclusion Blackwood, and the Lebenshol
convention are explained. On defense, the important topic of disrupting declarer's communications is explained.
The book will also show how to become an "awkward defender," the sort of player that no declarer likes to face.
Finally, five important areas of declarer play are addressed: holding up in a suit contract, using the entries
provided by the trump suit, how to block the defenders' suit at no-trumps, the various ways to avoid an adverse
ruff or overruff, and how to overcome a 4-1 trump break.

Better Balanced Bidding

David Jackson, Ron Klinger, Eric Kokish
Summary
The first book for more than 75 years to update the current hand evaluation system, this is an important, and in
some ways revolutionary, text. The point count system of hand evaluation was first proposed in 1914, but the
honor count system was not seriously challenged until 1934 when Milton Work introduced the improved valuation
system used today. The Banzai System evolved by David Jackson and Ron Klinger adds a further dimension to
accurate hand evaluation by including the tens and is of crucial importance when assessing balanced hands.

Improve Your Opening Leads

Ron Klinger
Summary
The opening lead is one of the toughest areas of bridge. By following the guidelines in this book not only will you
find the winning lead more often, but you will also be able to avoid the futile or dangerous leads which make
declarer's task easier. By giving less away with the opening lead, your scores are bound to improve. This book is
about the logic and methods for finding the best lead time and time again. The first section deals with the
approach you should adopt before you even consider plucking a card from your hand. It provides a series of
steps to enable you to come up with the best start. This is followed by a section of practical problems that
arose in major competitions where the very best players did not always find the right answer. Most importantly,
the solutions to each problem include the logic behind the right choice and the clues that should point you in the
right direction. After completing this book, perhaps you will not find the killing lead every time, but you will find it
more often.

A master of the game gives readers the opportunity to become a master player through skills of
deduction

apply logic to card play in making the correct inferences and deductions and in assessing the timing.

Modern Losing Trick Count Flipper

Ron Klinger
Summary
The Losing Trick Count (LTC) is a way of measuring the trick-taking potential of a trump contract without the
need to count points. It enables you to calculate the playing strength and the tricks in your own hand, and to
accurately estimate the useful tricks in a partner's hand. Put these two figures together and you have the trick-
taking capacity of the two hands. Used correctly, the LTC is a vastly superior valuation technique for accurate
bidding.

When to Bid, When to Pass

Ron Klinger
Summary
Many players know how to bid, but are less adept at deciding when not to bid; this book shows how to finish in
the right contract
Many players bid too often and too much, but it can be profitable to know when to keep your mouth shut. From
the opening bid to much later rounds of bidding, from uncontested sequences to highly competitive auctions, this
book will provide the groundwork so that you will know when silence can be golden. Each chapter covers the
principles that indicate when bidding is the right course, and then which call to choose, and when passing is the
winning action.

Chess: 80 Classic Problems

One Move and You're Dead!
Erwin Brecher
Summary
This guide to chess chooses the most dynamic and destructive tactical patterns, positions where the winning
move forces instant checkmate, resignation or decisive advantage. Quite often such climaxes are the result of
sustained and prolonged attacking pressure, and the final move may be make or break, where the winner has
already burned boats by sacrificing material. Players have to choose the one move that causes the destruction
of your partner. All of these games are real, and many are absolute classics that have been overlooked for one
reason or another.

Summary
The first book to focus on United States Chess Champion
Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura's fascinating journey to the top of world chess is documented in this look at his life

Open Files
Wolfgang Uhlmann, Gerhard Schmidt
Summary
The strategy and tactics associated with the open file are explained here clearly and comprehensively-how files
are opened, blocked, occupied, and exploited as roads along which to invade the enemy position. A brief
introduction lays the theoretical foundations and is followed by illustrative games, in all of which the open file is
the dominant or deciding factor. In each game there is a pause at a key position where a clear verbal
assessment is given; these assessments teach the reader how strong chess players think-what to look for, how
to assess, and how to plan. The book benefits not only from Gerhard Schmidt's experience as a trainer but also
from the huge knowledge and skill gained by Grandmaster Wolfgang Uhlmann during his long and successful
career in top-class chess.

9783283010065 Wolfgang Uhlmann is acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts on the French Defense. He is the

The Spanish Exchange Variation

A Fischer Favourite: White Repertoire for Tournament Players
Stefan Kindermann
Summary
The Spanish Exchange Variation lets you play one of the major chess openings, the Ruy Lopez, without the risk
of drowning in the huge flow of information now available to the modern chess-player. White's play in this
opening is often very thematic, thus an understanding of the typical positions is more important than concrete
knowledge of variations. Grandmaster Stefan Kindermann, who plays the Spanish ExchangeVariation himself,
provides clear explanations, as well as instructive analysis of carefully selected examples, and he reveals many
new ideas and fresh assessments. Although this is a repertoire book for White, the author's treatment is
objective, and a special chapter is even devoted to what he considers to be Black's best choice against this
formidable weapon.
