In a sequel to S.J. Simon's classic textbook, the original 'characters' discuss the common failings of modern bridge club players.
S.J. Simon's classic bridge text book Why You Lose at Bridge, dispensing advice to the improving card player through archetypical bridge-playing characters such as Futile Willie, the Unlucky Expert, and Mrs. Guggenheim, is regarded as one of the best books ever written on the game. In this follow-up book, Julian Pottage uses the same approach to discuss common failings of modern club players - mis-describing your shape, overvaluing your hand, bidding the wrong slam, playing a flawed system, giving the wrong signal, making losing leads, and many more.
Julian Pottage is acknowledged to be one of the top bridge problemists in the world. He is a former junior English international bridge player, the author of numerous books and a regular contributor to Bridge magazine. His book 'Play or Defend' won the prestigious International Bridge Press Association Book of the Year Award in 2004.
