  By Ron Klinger

  For intermediate players

  .
  The opening lead is one of the toughest areas of the game. By following the guide-lines in this book not only will you find the winning lead more often, but also you will be able to avoid the futile or dangerous leads which make declarer's task easier.

  By giving less away with the opening lead, your scores are bound to improve. This book is about the logic and methods for finding the best lead time and time again. The first section deals with the approach you should adopt before you even consider plucking a card from your hand. It provides a series of steps to enable you to come up with the best start.

  This is followed by a section of practical problems that arose in major competitions where the very best players did not always find the right answer. Most importantly, the solutions to each problem include the logic behind the right choice and the clues that should point you in the right direction. After completing this book, perhaps you will not find the killing lead every time, but you will find it more often.

• Right Through the Pack Again
  
  
  $35.00
  
  

  By Ron Klinger

  For intermediate players

  A bridge classic revisited

  Right Through The Pack (A Bridge Fantasy) by Robert Darvas and Norman de V Hart was published in 1948 and the idea of each card in the pack telling its own story was an instant hit. It is on virtually every magazine’s and player’s list of the top ten bridge books of all time and has become a bridge classic.

  This new book follows the original but also continues the story of the Old Master, a character featured in a series of articles Ron wrote for The Bridge World magazine. The Old Master managed to snatch victory from impossible-seeming situations but in the final article, Last Hurrah, he collapsed and died... or did he? In Right Through The Pack Again the cards strive to keep the Old Master alive. Each card tells its own tale and how it was the key feature in a particular hand. Not only will you be enchanted by the deals, but you will also learn more about why the Old Master has lost the zest for life. Will the cards be able to restore his desire to live?

  The Old Master lives... Or does he?
