This book puts the reader at the table in the world's most prestigious Invitational Pairs tournament, held annually in The Hague. Larry Cohen is regularly invited to these events, and the book is based on his popular articles that have appeared in Bridge Today magazine. The author presents real-life hands from several of the Hague tournaments as bidding problems that the reader can try with their own favourite partner. Then they can read Cohen's insightful analysis of how each pair of hands should be bid, and compare their results with those of the world-class experts who actually played them. Includes an optional tearout section at the end of the book for easy bidding practice.
