"Test Your Match Play", "The Tough Game" and "The Needle Match" are a series of three books that test your declarer play in the imaginary settings of the Gold Cup. In "Challenge Match" Hugh Kelsey continues with the formula that proved successful in these three books, but the settings is subtly changed, for you are not playing a Gold Cup final this time. Your deadly rivals, still convinced that they are the better team, have challenged you to a grand show-down over sixty-four boards, the losers to contribute big money to the charity of the winner's choice. Naturally you cannot ignore such insolence. The south seat is yours throughout the match and the result is in your hands. You are faced with a difficult problem in play or defense on every board, and it will take all your skill and resolution to come out on top. Win or lose, you are sure to enjoy the challenge and to profit from the lessons of the hands. |

In the third book, "How to Bid and Play in Duplicate Tournaments" Freddie Sheinwold has simplified for the average player the technique of duplicate bidding and play. With concise explanations, graphic illustrations of many hands and with a new convention of his own, Mr. Sheinwold shows the way to get the most out of your cards. He demonstrates clearly how to calculate your risk in sacrificing, how to be sure to bid to slam, how to reach the contract which gives you the most points, how to get "top on the board." Here too, the laws and penalties which apply to tournament play are fully explained. This book will be an indispensable handbook for the player with ambition to become a winner in club tournaments, and to gain master points in sectional and national play. It is written for the player of average ability, but players of top skill will also gain much from the book |
