Focus on Declarer Play

For most intermediate bridge players, declarer play is both fascinating and challenging, but too often they are left after a hand is over with the sinking feeling that they could have done better. In this book, acclaimed British author Danny Roth takes his readers through the most common causes of errors on play: mishandling communications, making errors involving trumps, failing to take advantage of all possible chances, and many more. He explains how to recognize the danger signals, and how to avoid the pitfalls. The situations he describes are encountered every day; careful study of the examples in this book will make the reader a better card player, and improved scores will certainly follow.

Danny Roth was born in 1946 and educated at Latymer Upper and Reading University, graduating in Applied Physical Sciences before training as an actuary with the Prudential Assurance Company. As teacher and coach, he has published more than twenty books on bridge as well as a play on the 1936 Abdication crisis. He has studied diet, nutrition and obesity over a number of years and this book is the product of his researches.
