As Hugh Kelsey says in his introduction, the brilliant card player achieves his results with a combination of logic and flair. And although many people may think flair plays a disproportionate part, the expert player, in fact, produces his sometimes unbelievable results almost entirely by the application of logic. LOGICAL BRIDGE PLAY teaches you just how to apply logic to your card play in making the correct inferences and deductions, and in assessing the timing - the opportunity to become a master player is yours for the taking.

Den skicklige bridgespelaren skapar sina resultat genom att kombinera logik och känsla. Om en nybörjare hittar en djupmask eller fäller en singelkung, bottnar detta ganska säkert i 90% fint väderkorn och på sin höjd 10% logiskt tänkande. Expertern vet innerst inne att kortkänsla bara till en liten del svarar för hans framgångar. Hans spel baseras nästan helt på logik.I Logisk bridge låter författaren läsaren fundera över någon alldaglig situation. Naturligtvis saknas inte fallgropar. Men efter att ha följt Kelseys obönhörligt logiska resonemang, verkar det vinnande spelsättet närmast självklart.

Jaha, men det är lättare sagt än gjort, tänker ni. Där tar ni fel! För när Kelsey, med hjälp av sin torra humor och hundratalet lysande exempel, belyser de tretton vanligaste dödssynderna vid spelbordet, är ingenting särskilt svårt. Inte ens att läsa boken.

Maskar bjuder på brittisk torrhumor och med slående exempel avslöjar Hugh Kelsey hur experten skiljer på fungerande och fatala maskar i bridge.Det allra värsta med maskar, är att de många gånger lockar spelföraren bort från den smala vägen. Ibland till helt onödiga risker, ibland till onödigt stora faror. Experten är skeptiskt inställd till alla osäkra maskar; en simpel 50-50-chans nöjer han sig i allmänhet inte med. Nej, han vill ha bättre odds! Endast ifall han inte hittar något säkrare alternativ, använder han masken som sista utväg. De gånger han tvingas ta masken, slår han inte utan vidare den mest iögonfallande. Nej, han inventerar och utvärderar sina möjligheter. De frågor som expertern ställer till sig själv är: Kan jag undvika att maska?Om jag nu inte kan undvika att maska - vilken färg, eller vilka färger, erbjuder största chansen?Om jag är piskad att slå flera maskar - i vilken ordning ska jag pröva dem?Åt vilket håll ska jag maska? Öst eller Väst?När ska jag göra det?Vilket kort ska jag starta med?Ja, nu inser du själv att du är i skriande behov av denna bok!
