Eric Jannersten and Jan Wohlin
When a player is introduced to the match-point pairs game, he soon discovers that good bridge is not enough to guarantee a winning score. Special conditions are imposed by the method of match-pointing, which places a large premium on a small difference in the aggregate score. Special techniques are therefore required in both bidding and play.
The winning tactics and strategy for all the situations that commonly arise in a pairs tournament are clearly set out in this book. The two famous Swedish authors explain when to go for an overtrick and when to play safe, when to cash out in defence, when to try to defeat the contract, and when to double to protect a part-score. Emphasis is placed on the need to consider at all times what may happen (or may have happened) at the other tables in the tournament. A large number of practice hands gives the reader the opportunity to test his new-found techniques in both play and defence.
