This book highlights the strategies that contribute to success in
team games. Of course, there is no magic formula for winning at
bridge, given the inherent complexity, the incomplete information
available to both sides, and the psychological elements involved.
However, there are some characteristics common to consistent
success:
good bidding methods are essential
these methods are useless without courage
as declarer, care and planning are vital
as a defender, a little thought goes a long way
Winning IMPs in Teams and Swiss Pairs events requires good
methods, skill, courage and a bit of luck. Winning often depends
on getting to thin games (we bid it, you try to beat it!) and
reasonable slams. Bidding is therefore a primary focus of this
book. The rest of the time, significant IMP swings largely relate to
(not enough) care and thought in the cardplay and defense. The
remainder of the book centres around these areas of focus.
Reviews
Surprisingly, there has been little in bridge literature that focusses on the strategies of IMP bridge. Rakesh Kumar’s new book fills this void nicely.
For 20 years he’s had a column in the NSWBA Bulletin covering his success and failures at the table. Rakesh’s first bridge book, Winning IMPs, is based on material from his column and discusses the strategies that lead to successful IMP play. This text focuses on the four essential areas of winning IMPs bridge.And all the key points are illustrated with many hands taken from actual tournament play.
