Defence is a complex aspect of the bridge game that players of all levels and abilities find particularly difficult. Co-operation with your partner is essential - interpreting the bidding correctly and being on the same wavelength as your partner guarantees success. This book provides expert advice and detailed explanations on how to do just that. Difficulties and dilemmas, such as 'What can be inferred from a partner's lead?' and 'Is a partner's suggested line of defence worth pursuing?', are examined individually and thoroughly. Each explanation is accompanied by example hands and revision quizzes to reinforce successful team play and defence tactics.
