These days, most players bid too much - they hope their opponents will misdefend, or will bid too much themselves. This book shows you how you can often do better simply by passing. There are many auctions where 'pass' is the winning call, and you will find them here, illustrated by real-life deals from the club level to international championships.

"A most enjoyable and welcome book reinforcing the value of discipline and good judgment in the bidding."

Paul Lavings, NSW Bridge Association

"Ron and Harold's advice is almost invariably sound, and will help you win in unspectacular style."

Tom Townsend, Daily Telegraph
