| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Terence Reese, a prolific author of bridge books, points out that there are only four ways of taking a trick by force: playing a high card that no one else can beat, trumping an opponent's high card, establishing long suits, and playing for the opponents' high cards to be in a particular position. Nearly all trick-taking techniques in bridge can be reduced to one of these four methods. This book studies play techniques in bridge including finesse, ruff, endplay, coup, safety play, and opening lead. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
