Defense is the hardest part of playing bridge, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to learn. The authors explain how to make a plan as a defender: how to work out from the auction and play what declarer probably has, and which of the strategies available to defenders is likely to be successful.

One of the all-time classics of bridge, revolutionary when first published and as relevant now as it was then. Killing Defence at Bridge is one of the great classics of bridge. It carries the mark of a genius and was the first in a series of major books written by Hugh Kelsey, who became internationally recognised as a leading authority on the analysis of bridge. He coupled this incisive thinking with a brilliant skill with words and made the most complex techniques in bridge sound simple and easy to grasp. Killing Defence features a foreword by Ron Klinger, one of bridge's leading teachers.

How many times have you found yourself defending and wriggling with anguish at having to discard apparently certain winners?

By helping you to develop insights into the hidden possibilities in the lie and play of the cards, this book will make you a sought-after partner - and a respected (and feared!) opponent.
