Customer Reviews

A nice collection of very challenging problems.

This book is a great problem set for advanced players who are already proficient with squeezes and trump coups and don't mind spending 15+ minutes per problem to polish their game further. Some of the hands presented by Mr Pottage are true gems. Had I known how much I would enjoy them I would not hesitate to buy the book for three times the price. A word of caution is in order. Practical bridge players not interested in esoteric positions might not find this volume to be a worthwhile investment.
