Breaking the Bridge Rules: First Hand Play [Rigal]

The first of a planned four-book series on cardplay, this book deals with situations where the player who is on lead - defender or declarer, at the start of the deal or in the middle - needs to do something that involves ostensibly 'breaking the rules'. Not, obviously, the rules of bridge itself, but the well-tried adages that every player is taught - the rules of thumb that work in a lot of cases.

Knowing when to break those rules is one of the marks of an expert player.
