BOOK 3

Master one of the most important areas of modern Bridge bidding.

 

This book explores the most important concepts related to 1NT and 2NT openings, together with the X-Y-Z and X-Y-1NT systems.

​

Each topic includes new suggestions to solve complex situations, as well as variants to some conventions.

 

This is the THIRD volume in a FIVE-BOOK SERIES designed as a complete training program in the SAYC (Standard American Yellow Card) bidding system. Each volume builds on the previous one, guiding players from the beginner level to advanced and expert bidding methods.

​

Each situation is illustrated with numerous examples in which the auction sequences are analyzed, considering as many as possible of the responses from the OPENER, the RESPONDER, and the OPPONENTS.

 

At the end of each chapter, you will find a TEST with many exercises and a thorough analysis of the correct answers.

 

Among the many topics covered, you will discover practical answers to challenging bidding problems, such as:

 

· How do you show a 5-card spade suit and a 4-card heart suit with 8–9 HCP after partner opens 1NT (15–17 HCP)?

 

· How do you describe the same distribution with 5–8 HCP after partner opens 2NT (20–21 HCP)?
