Tired of memorizing how many points you need to bid this or that? Do you have trouble determining if you have a minimum, medium or maximum hand and what to do if it fits into a particular category? Then \u003cem\u003eYes, No or Maybe\u003c\/em\u003e is what you need. This is a series of three textbooks and companion workbooks for beginning bridge students. The series uses a logical paradigm for making bidding decisions by formulating two basic questions: \"Do we have a fit in a major suit?\" and \"Do we want to be in a game contract?\" All partnership bidding after an opening bid or intervention is guided by the answers (Yes, No or Maybe) to these questions and some fundamental bidding guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction and Card Play Basics covers the mechanics of the game, a little bridge history, scoring, hand valuation and preferred contracts, along with the basics of declarer play and defense. No real bidding is included here but MiniBridge or a variant is used for sample and practice deals. The Yes, No, Maybe bidding concepts are introduced for the determination of preferred contracts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI only wish that such a book had existed when I was starting out.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Barbara Seagram\u003cbr\u003e Author of\u003cem\u003e 25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47271605010681,"sku":"9781771401654","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/YUdMc3NzUDRGYXVRb01CeGNUSGVUdz09.webp?v=1768931825","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/ynm-introduction-and-card-play-basics-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
