First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. "Sure Tricks," first published in 1948, consists of two sections; the first, a collection of 273 "Amuse Yourself" card games by Ivar Andersson, the second a collection of "Sure Tricks" of Bridge Hands by George S. Coffin. This extensive compilation of bridge problems is organized into sections that reflect the types of problems presented: Double Dummy Problems: These are puzzles where all four hands are visible to the solver, and the challenge is to find the optimal line of play assuming perfect defense and declarer play. The problems are often arranged by the number of cards in each hand, reflecting the tradition of "miniature" problems prevalent in the early 20th century. Sure Tricks (Single Dummy) Problems: In these, only the declarer's and dummy's hands are known, and the task is to find a line of play that guarantees the contract regardless of how the defenders' cards are distributed. These problems emphasize practical play and safety considerations. Solutions Section: The book includes a substantial solutions section, comprising approximately 60 pages, where each problem is analyzed in detail, and the correct line of play is explained.

Condition: Gut. Zustand: Gut | Sprache: Schwedisch | Produktart: Bücher | Skrivandet är också alltid en annan plats än verkligheten, another country. Författaren ser verkligheten genom sitt prisma, sina erfarenheter och premisser, detta påverkar den värld som ses och skrivs. Det gör verkligheten till en annan plats.Under året har vi, författare och poeter som intensivt bevittnat varandras verk, befunnit oss ibland nära, ibland långt ifrån en igenkännbar verklighet. Vi har läst simulerade världar, organisk sci-fi och feministisk fantasy. Vi har läst skildringar av den märkliga transformationen från barn till vuxen och svensk småstads-noir där allt är sig både kusligt likt och helt annorlunda. Vi har läst texter som ser så långt in i skammen att den förvandlas till en sorts nåd, och vi har läst parallella och diskret utopiska byar. Vi har läst dikter om ung livseufori och social rädsla och brev till mystiskt försvunna och saknade människor. Vi har också läst scener där humor och uppfuckad (om)sorg inte går att hålla isär och om klaustrofobiska städer där himlen faller över ett ödsligt jag. Det är exempel och konsekvenser från den andra plats som vår kurs har varit och är. Du finner dem i boken här.
