Tired of memorizing how many points you need to bid this or that? Do you have trouble determining if you have a minimum, medium or maximum hand and what you are supposed to do if it fits in a particular category? Then \u003cem\u003eYes, No or Maybe\u003c\/em\u003e is what you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a series of three textbooks and companion workbooks for beginning bridge students. The series uses a logical paradigm for making bidding decisions by formulating two basic questions: ‘Do we have a fi t in a major suit?’ and ‘Do we want to be in a game contract?’ All partnership bidding after an opening bid or intervention is guided by the answers (Yes, No or Maybe) to these questions and some fundamental bidding guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis workbook accompanies the first textbook,\u003cem\u003e Introduction and Card Play Basics\u003c\/em\u003e, which covers the mechanics of the game, a little bridge history, scoring, hand valuation and preferred contracts, along with the basics of declarer play and defense.
