Plans rapprochés - Zoom sur le déclarant

Close-Up Plans is the French translation of the famous English book by David Bird and Barbara Seagram, Planning the Play. As its name suggests, the book deals with game plans.

Twelve chapters grouped into three parts (useful techniques, precautions and strategy) present the most important techniques to master when facing dummy. This is indeed a manual, each technique is presented in a concise and synthetic manner and, at the end of each chapter, a box summarizes what the reader must remember and use at the table. To help you better absorb these lessons, the author suggests solving a series of well-calibrated exercises - neither too easy nor incomprehensible. And the last chapter of the book, The Grand Final Quiz, will allow you to check your progress while having fun.

A word from the Bridgeur

One of the indisputable pleasures of this book is the lively, almost facetious style adopted by the author. Thanks be to Odile Beineix who managed to preserve it in her translation.
