2 comments about Inferences at Bridge.
- This is not a simple book, based on just counting HCP. You will need to think deeply about the bidding and play. The author presents his own ideas on bidding and defensive signaling (which he explains even if you don't agree with). There are some interesting hands and ideas. There are also many difficult hands involving Squeezes and deep thought on card play technique.
I would suggest that Intermediate players first read several other books on Deduction and save this for later.
Its worth reading, but unless you are advanced you probably won't get much out of it.
* Advanced = counting the hand is routine, comfortable with different types of squeezes and card play technique, generally experienced
- This is way way deeper than Mike Lawrences "How to Read Your Opponents Cards". Don't even open the cover if you are not already an above average player.
Al Dormers "Dormer on Deduction" is a Classic I'd suggest reading over this one.
Frank Stewart has 2 books that cover the drawing of inferences.
- Better Bridge for trhe Advancing Player
- Winning Defense for the Advancing Player
I liked both of them a lot more than this one.
This one has some difficult inferences that its unlikely anyone below National Champion would be able to find at the table. The chapters on carding are found in other books on defense.
Is this book worth reading? I guess so. I'd suggest reading other books instead, and saving this for later.
