Better Balanced Bidding : Volume 3: Advanced Methods and Slam Bidding Paperback / softback
by Mike Wenble
Part of the Better Balanced Bidding series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is the third and final volume in a trilogy that presents a coherent and comprehensive response structure to help partnerships reach the best contract as often as possible after the opening bidder has announced a balanced hand.This series is a completely re-written and expanded update of the author's earlier "No-Trump Bidding" (co-authored with Ladies World Champion Sally Brock).
It incorporates many new theoretical ideas and improvements on existing standard methods.Volume 1 of the trilogy focuses solely on the opening bid of 1NT and its continuations, while Volume 2 considers in detail no-trump rebids, and the opening bid of 2NT and its continuations.
Volume 3 is aimed at the serious partnership that is prepared to put more effort into the construction of their system.
It consists of two parts. Part One revisits some of the ideas presented in Volumes 1 and 2 and develops some more sophisticated response methods, including esoterica such as submarine splinters after a 1NT rebid, and puppets after major-suit transfers.
Part Two looks beyond the early rounds of the auction and offers some effective new slam-bidding ideas such as compressed responses to Roman Key-card Blackwood.All three volumes of this latest (2021) edition have been further expanded to contain new material and additional examples.The author is a contributor of theoretical articles to various bridge magazines, including "The Bridge World" (USA), and "Bridge Magazine" (UK).
He learnt to play bridge as a teenager and showed sufficient aptitude for the game to win the England Schools championship some eighteen months later.
Now working his way up to Grand Master status, he represented Yorkshire when younger, and more recently has played for Berks & Bucks.
