Synopsis The Notrump Zone by : Danny Kleinman
Notrump openings, and the constructive auctions that follow them, are two of the most neglected areas in bridge literature. Following on from his popular articles in the ACBL Bulletin, Kleinman discusses the principles behind notrump bids and rebids in a variety of situations, emphasising the ideas and concepts rather than attempting to teach a series of rigid rules. A must for any duplicate player.

Synopsis The Weak Notrump by : Andy Stark
All North American players are taught to play using a strong notrump, but that is not the way of the rest of the world. Even in North America, weak notrump systems, or even Kamikaze notrump systems, are becoming more common. This book discusses the advantages and disadvantages of playing a system with a weaker notrump opening, and shows how the 1NT range impacts the rest of the bidding system. Even those who have no interest in converting to a weak notrump range still need to know how to play against weak notrump systems. For them, the book includes advice on effective competitive methods.

These include the concepts of Useful Space, Relays, Transfers, Dialogue Bidding, as well as the conflicting needs for a system that is robust, antagonistic, and also accurate.

Synopsis The Principle of Restricted Talent by : Danny Kleinman
An anthology of humorous stories featuring Chthonic, the bridge-playing robot. The stories draw unmercifully funny portraits of human bridge players, as Chthonic's bridge brilliance and abrasive and ill-concealed contempt for his human creators leave them all in his wake. A particular target is the pompous Director of the Cybernetics Research Institute, whose opinion of his own bridge expertise differs greatly from that of his protigi. Some of these stories have appeared in The Bridge World magazine, where the characters are established as firm reader favorites. Danny Kleinman of Los Angeles is a prolific bridge writer, theorist, professional player, and teacher, who is a regular contributor to several bridge magazines. He is a Contributing Editor of The Bridge World, and is one of the moderators of 'The Master Solvers' Club' in that magazine. He also writes about backgammon, another game which he plays at an expert level. Nick Straguzzi of Mullica Hill, NJ, is a software analyst specializing in artificial intelligence and knowledge management. Nick has researched ways in which computer game theory could be applied to bridge, but concluded that it would be far easier to write about a perfect bridge-playing computer than to actually build one.

Synopsis Contract Bridge Bidding System by : AU Yan
Green Club attempts to overcome the uncertainty of high card point (HCP) range of 12 to 21 for opening at 1 level of a suit in SAYC. It also attempts to enhance the hand valuation method by adding long point (LP), trump point (TRP), and short point (SP) to the traditional high card point (HCP); resulting in aggregate trick point (TP). Analysis of actual hands played at tournament is provided to support the TP hand valuation method. An open bid will tell the strength of a hand within an accuracy of 3 TP. Shape of a hand is classified into 3 segments namely balance or one suiter, two suiter, and two long suiter. The objective is to tell responder at an early stage of bidding the strength and shape of a hand for timely and appropriate actions.
