  • Shortness
    James Marsh Sternberg MD
    This book is about only one thing. Shortness, singletons or voids. It’s impossible to overestimate the value distribution plays in bidding accuracy. High cards are nice; anybody can bid games and slams when the high cards are falling out of their hands onto the table.But usually those results don’t get you very far. It’s usually an average or maybe just above. You don’t win bri...

  • Reversing the Dummy
    James Marsh Sternberg MD
    When discussing declarer play, the first thing I always suggest is for declarer to try to determine what kind of hand he is dealing with. Proper play of the hand starts with planning your play at Trick 1. After identifying/counting your losers, you need to look for ways to eliminate them. Counting winners too sometimes makes things easier, especially for dummy reversals. After ...

  • When Michaels Met the Unusual
    James Marsh Sternberg MD
    In the earlier days of bridge, a direct cue bid of the opponent’s opening bid was traditionally played as a ’strong cue bid’, a hand too strong for an ordinary take-out double, and forcing to game. A typical hand was any 4-4-4-1 hand with 18 - 19+ HCP. These occurred so seldom and players found they could be handled by starting with a take-out double anyhow that the dire...

  • L O L
    Danny Kleinman / James Marsh Sternberg MD
    Just what is LOL? Yes, a common abbreviation for Laughing Out Loud, and often used to refer to a Little Old Lady, but in bridge it means a Loser-On-Loser play. At times a declarer can improve his/her situation by playing a losing card from one hand on a loser in a different suit from the hand opposite.
