Today's tournament players bid more aggressively than ever before, and it is critical to be able to bid accurately and constructively despite enemy auctions. In the modern game, dozens of possible meanings are assigned to doubles, redoubles and cuebids, while a smorgasbord of sophisticated relays and transfers offers further options to the advancing player.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, one of the world's leading experts on bidding theory discusses current thinking, and recommends a coherent competitive bidding structure which will continue to be playable as the game enters its second century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshall Miles has his own ideas on bidding, ideas that do not always coincide with prevailing expert opinion; in the past, however, he has often proven simply to be ahead of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-644931\"\u003eMarshall Miles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Master Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.06w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894154130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894154134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-GAM\"\u003eGames \u0026amp; Activities\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-GAM002010\"\u003eCard Games | Bridge\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Master Point Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651327529197,"sku":"9781894154130","price":24.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_260fd96d-f462-4f9b-8d1e-fbddf92abbbc.jpg?v=1649218219","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/competitive-bidding-in-the-21st-century-9781894154130","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
