These wonderful agreements and gadgets turn
your everyday bidding system into something personal, something that fits the exact style that
you and your partner want to play. And now you can choose from some seventy expert-level ideas
to add to your bidding arsenal, quickly and painlessly.
In this book you'll find:
Basic Conventions — the Rest of the Story: find out how top-level players have turbocharged
such standard conventions as Stayman, Jacoby and Texas Transfers, Drury, Weak Jump Shifts, and
more.
Bread and Butter Conventions: some conventions that are standard with most experts but may not
be for you, such as Smolen, Slow Arrival, Italian Cuebids, the best defenses to Multi and
Bergen Raises, Retransfers, Clarifying Cuebids, and others.
Defensive and Cardplay Conventions: learn more about Trump Suit Preference, Obvious Shift
carding, the Slam Spade Double, the Lead-directing Pass, and many more.
Fine Arts Conventions: not for the faint of heart, some of these ideas will really make you sit
up and take notice. Would you enjoy playing Last Train to Clarkesville, Yellow Rose of Texas,
Vacant Doubletons, Double Keycard Blackwood, Trent Weak Two-bids, or the XYZ Convention, for
example? Read this book and find out!
