Breaking The Bridge Rules

"Rules are made to be broken, and bridge is no exception. The first of a planned four-book series on cardplay, this book deals with situations where the player who is on the lead, defender or declarer, at the start of the deal or in the middle needs to do something that involves ostensibly 'breaking the rules', Not obviously, the rules of the bridge itself, but the well-tried adages that every player is taught, the rules of thumb that work most of the time. Knowing when to break those rules is one of the marks of an expert player."--Back cover.
