Winning Duplicate Tactics by David Bird

To be successful at duplicate pairs, you must adjust your bidding. You must know when to compete vigorously, taking a risk in doing so. You must also know when it is right to bid conservatively. You have to understand which contract to choose in various situations. In the play and defence you meet similar dilemmas. Should you risk the contract for a lucrative overtrick? Should you risk giving away an extra trick in defence, hoping that you can beat the contract? This is a book that every novice bridge player needs to read before that first pairs game at their local club.
