North America's oldest and most prestigious bridge magazine, The Bridge World features a monthly column entitled 'Test your Play', which presents difficult problems in declarer play for readers to solve. This is a collection of some of the best of these from the last twenty years; if you can solve even half of them, you may be one of the best declarers in the world!

Jeff Rubens a mathematician by training, was a college professor for thirty years; but he has been a bridge writer and editor for more than forty. He co-founded and edited The Bridge Journal and has been editing The Bridge World since 1967.

"An excellent collection; a challenging batch - not for beginners."
- The Denver Post

"A difficult book which repays time and effort spent on it, and as a consequence, extremely good value for money."
- Bridge Plus

"The problems are tough but fair, and will well reward your investment of both money and time."
- National Post

"Really meaty problems, not for the faint-hearted!"
- The Herald

"There is one big advantage to writing magazine articles before putting them into book form: if you make a mistake or overlook an alternative, you will receive mail from sharp-eyed readers and can then adjust or expand your analysis. You know what to expect [here]: difficult declarer problems that may break new ground. Have fun!"
- The Bridge World

"A fine collection of hands, but you should definitely heed the author's advice to only tackle a few problems at a time."
- The Bridge Shop, Australia
