Killing Defence at Bridge by Hugh Kelsey

Learn to recognise and defeat vulnerable contracts

Very Good Condition - with light cover scuffs, a brown mark on the back and minor edge and corner wear.

Hugh Kelsey examines the thinking that turns bridge defence from hopeful card play into a reasoned plan. Using carefully analysed deals, he shows how counting, observation and inference can reveal the distribution of unseen cards and the opportunities available to the defenders. The emphasis is on understanding why a particular play succeeds, rather than memorising an isolated trick, encouraging players to use information from the bidding and the play together. Clear explanations make demanding defensive ideas approachable for readers seeking to improve beyond the basics. Part of the Master Bridge Series and featuring a foreword by Ron Klinger, Killing Defence at Bridge offers sustained instruction in finding the precise action that can bring declarer's apparently secure contract down.
