{"product_id":"9781543442014","title":"Tournament Bridge for Beginning Players","description":"This book is about how to play bridge in a tournament. Unlike club play, the hands are typically prearranged to test your skills. This book gives a comprehensive view of the various types of hands a beginning player might expect to encounter. The various categories of hands presented will teach you how to play the first card, how to ruff, how to set up a long suit, how to play for the drop, how to get a count on the hand, and how to handle special combinations, such as the split A-Q or K-Q. In addition, you will learn about finessing up to a lone honor, the ruffing finesse, the backward finesse, and other finessing techniques. You will also learn how to read inferences from the opponents’ bids, opening leads, play, and discards.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148097634544,"sku":"9781543442014","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543442014_p0.jpg?v=1763747445","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543442014","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
