This book provides ammunition for players of both rubber bridge, where conventions are relatively few, and tournament bridge, where conventions are used to gain advantage over one's opponents. The book deals with good, convention-free bidding, as well as with the most valued conventions. These are assessed on a star system: 3-star conventions are rated an essential part of your weaponry; 2-star conventions should be used by any aspiring tournament player; 1-star conventions are more specialized and are of interest only to regular partnership. By the authors of "Miracle of Card Play" and "How the Experts Do It".
