Synopsis: Like "25
Conventions", "25 Ways" has 25 chapters, each covering different methods for
getting into the auction once the opponents have opened the bidding. Rather
than organize these topics somewhat at random by difficulty, this book
organizes the topics by broad competitive area, dividing the discussions
into six groups: Suit Overcalls (5 chapters); Takeout Doubles (4); Notrump
Overcalls (2); 1NT Defenses (3); Bidding over Preempts (5); and General
Competitive Issues (6). While some of the chapters are as short as 5 or 6
pages, others go into more detail by presenting more alternatives. For
example, the chapter on conventional defenses over a 1NT opening describes
Landy, Cappelletti, and DONT, while mentioning that plenty of others exist.
As Eddie Kantar points out in his forward, there are even chapters (his
favorites) introducing the subjects of the Law of Total Tricks and Hand
Evaluation. |
