About the Book

This is an unusual problem book in the style of Diosy's There Must Be a Way, in that the reader is shown all four hands and asked whether declarer or defense should prevail with best play. A fascinating challenge for the advancing player.

Critic's Viewpoint

'The deals I find most fascinating are those where it is difficult to decide if declarer or the defenders will triumph. Britain's Julian Potter is well known for his tricky play problems (he has already written several such books), and this one is just as interesting as the predecessors.  Recommended - if you are keen on play problems.'
- Anders Wirgren, Sweden

'This is a terrific book. I didn't want it to end. Because of its quality (problems and answers) and its incredibly low price, I am tempted to give it the rare grade of A+.'
- Ron Garber

'A first rate example of its genre.'
- ACBL Bulletin

'A really good way to spend a few enlightening hours'
- BRIDGE magazine

'The latest fascinating book from one of the most imaginative and hardest working writers in Bridge'
