The key to becoming an expert bridge player lies in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the laws and procedures of the game before sitting down to the bridge table. All too often, students are encouraged to start playing before they have grasped even the rudiments of the game, and as a result never achieve 'expert' status. The Expert Beginner offers a completely different approach to learning how to play bridge. Emphasis is placed on developing a sound platform of understanding by working through exercises with a stop-watch, so that the basic principles become second nature.

A good grounding in the basics, with some welcome emphasis on memory training.
This is a totally different approach to playing bridge, but when you first sit at the table you will be playing like and thinking like an expert. If you are not counting out hands (every hand), and cant seem to do it, but want to, this book will show you how, and is the only bridge book that will.
