Bridge for the Connoisseur

BRIDGE FOR THE CONNOISSEUR is a book with a special appeal for those who appreciate the finer points of the game. The text comprises 58 deals remarkable not only for their artistic value but also because they allow Hugh Kelsey to enhance them with instructive points on bidding, play and defence. Many of the hands come from international tournaments and reflect the brilliancies and blunders of the stars.

“Authors who put superlative words in a title risk having them shot down. On this occasion, Kelsey took little risk as the book contains a superb collection of fifty-eight deals containing instructive points for declarer and the defenders. As Ron Klinger points out in the foreword, it is almost impossible not to learn something from the book. I am impressed by the accuracy of the analysis, all worked out with no aid from computer programs like Deep Finesse . It was also well researched, with Kelsey juxtaposing hands played well with those on which a chance went a-begging-- BRIDGE PLUS”
