Winning at Matchpoints by Bill Treble
A common form of pairs scoring in the game of bridge is by matchpoints. On each board, a partnership scores two matchpoints for each other partnership that scored fewer points with the same cards, and one point for each other partnership that scored the same number of points. Most players would agree that matchpoints is harder than IMPs (international match point scoring) - it is certainly different. Yet many players approach the two forms of scoring in the same way. In this book, the author explains the differences in approach, the whys and wherefores of the right way to bid, play and defend at matchpoint scoring for optimum results.
Bill Treble is a former bronze medallist in the Canadian Team Championships. He and his wife are both accredited bridge instructors that have taught the game for well over a dozen years. Over that time they have also hosted play-and-learn sessions and novice games that are an ideal environment for people to gain more experience after taking bridge lessons. Bill is a two-time Canadian Open Pairs champion and is the author of three previous books, including the award-winning Defending at Bridge: A First Course (Master Point Press; November 2016; ISBN 978 177140 036 7).
