Guarantee Your Contract [Meyer]

This book presents a series of problems for which a 100% solution exists. In other words, if you play well, you cannot fail. Deals are of varying degrees of difficulty, identified by a system of stars, allowing readers, if they choose, to select a homogeneous route.

The techniques needed to make your contract are many and varied. However, as the author points out, if you set out to solve the problems in the order in which they are presented, your ability to solve them will increase as you read! Are the optimal lines of play valid in Pairs tournaments? Not always, of course, by the very nature of the exercise. But the author addresses this, indicating if a different line of play is more appropriate at Pairs, which will satisfy the increasing number of practitioners of this form of bridge.
