About the Book

Selecting the best line of play in a bridge hand as declarer is not easy. Most novices know something about basic odds and percentages, and can often find a line that offers a reasonable chance of success. However, the expert will skilfully combine options, so as to take advantage of more than chance. Rather than putting all his eggs in one basket, he will 'stay alive', squeezing out every extra chance. In this book of intermediate problems, Kantar shows the reader how to do this — there is always a line of play that will allow you take all your chances, and bring home your contract.

ACBL Bulletin

June 1st, 2011

Belleville Intelligencer

"Let's see: 100 problems at four problems a day. That adds up to 25 days of instruction from one of the best teachers in the game. That's good value for your money."

June 1st, 2011

The National Post

"With the deals and advice ranging from intermediate to advanced levels, there's something for everyone — and the writing is so smooth, you may not even notice you're receiving instruction!"

June 1st, 2011

The New York Times

"100 declarer-play problems. The author covers every instructive angle of a deal but keeps the text light and amusing."

June 1st, 2011

Bruce Altshuler, The Bridge World

"The 100 problems are analyzed on a much higher level than in most intermediate texts. Much in evidence are Kantar's trademarks: his timeless tips. Other positives include crisp writing, clear conversational explanations, challenging problems with preannounced degrees of difficulty, repeating themes, careful problem creation, and mistake-free editing. Overall, this is an excellent challenge for advancing intermediates."
