Things Your Bridge Teacher Won't Tell You

Overview

Why listen to advice from someone you've never heard of? The simple answer is, because Dan Romm is a winner. While others have made their names winning championships, he has spent over forty years playing bridge for money, in games that included some of the world's best players. And he has been a consistent winner. Now he tells you how he did it. He describes the factors that will make you a winning player: judgment, adaptability, planning, psychology, and lastly, technique. He talks about how to recognize when to ignore the rules, which overall strategies work and which don't, and how to get the best out of your partners. Finally, while promoting a bidding style that is largely natural, he discusses a number of popular conventions, explaining their drawbacks and recommending a (very) few as being worth playing. This is a unique book that can help turn you, too, into a winner.

Dan Romm is a Bridge expert who has spent more than forty years playing bridge for money, consistently winning in games that have included some of the world's best players. In Things Your Bridge Teacher Won't Tell You, Romm describes the factors that must be present for a winning Bridge player: judgment, adaptability, planning, psychology, and technique. Romm shows how to recognize when to ignore the rules, overall strategies that work (and some that don't), and perhaps just as importantly as personal proficiency, how to get the best out of your partners. Things Your Bridge Teacher Won't Tell You is a 'must read' for all dedicated Bridge enthusiasts. Also very highly recommended from Master Point Press are three additional titles for intermediate to advanced level players: Barbara Seagram and David Bird's Bridge: 25 Ways To Be A Better Defender (1897106114, $17.95) Jim Priebe's Matchpoint Defence (18971-06122, $18.95) and Andy Stark's The Weak Notrump: How To Play It, How To Play Against It (189415469X, $18.95).
