25 More Bridge Conventions You Should Know (2nd Edition) Part 1: Learn These First includes: Chapter 1 Blackwood and Gerber Chapter 2 Jacoby and Texas Transfers Chapter 3 Stayman 2♣ Response to 1NT Chapter 4 Takeout Doubles Chapter 5 Weak Two-Bids Chapter 6 2♣ Strong Artificial Opening Chapter 7 Reverses Chapter 8 Negative Doubles Since its publication in 1999, 25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know has sold more than 300,000 copies in six languages. It has become a much-valued learning tool and reference for everyone from social players to those who regularly spend time at their local bridge club. But bridge has changed in the last twenty-odd years. Bidding has changed. Some of the conventions in the original book have fallen into disuse, while others have gained in popularity and importance. Many basic conventions have changed in subtle ways as bidding methods have developed. It is now time, therefore, to update this modern classic so that today's players can be in tune with what is happening and stay current. This new edition has been thoroughly updated, while retaining the approach and features that made the original so popular. Each convention in the book has been carefully revised to reflect the way it is used in the modern game. Students are now universally taught to play transfers in response to a strong notrump opening, and the new edition reflects that change in several ways. Three chapters (Landy, Grand Slam Force and Ogust responses to Weak Twos) have been dropped completely in favor of Bergen Raises and the DONT and Meckwell defenses to 1NT. For the remaining parts see for the following titles: 25 More Bridge Conventions You Should Know (2nd Edition) Part 2: More Complicate 25 More Bridge Conventions You Should Know (2nd Edition) Part 3: Sophisticated Stuff For the complete ebook see the following title: 25 More Bridge Conventions You Should Know (2nd Edition)
