Publisher's Synopsis
Patrick O'Connor established himself as a leading author for beginning players of bridge with his first book, 'A First Book of Bridge Problems'. Now he addresses the hardest aspect of cardplay: defence. After carefully explaining the basic concepts, he takes the reader through 40 problems, using an 'over the shoulder' style, and explaining every play as it is made. Beginners typically have more trouble with defence than any other part of the game, and this book will go a long way towards removing their unease.
