The author' s previous book Getting to Good Slams (published by Honors, October 2018, ISBN 9781771401920), was an in-depth discussion of how to improve your slam bidding. Using examples from tournament play, the author identified hard-to-bid, but good, slams. He focused on the factors that make the slam possible, often with far fewer than the traditional number of points, and on how to evaluate your hand during the bidding to become aware that these factors are present. This new book turns the spotlight on an even more useful area -- how to get to good game contracts without just guessing, again often with fewer than the officially-sanctioned number of high card points (HCP) in the partnership. Anyone who plays International Match Points (IMPs) will tell you that this is the area where most matches are won and lost.
Professor Terry Bossomaier was a keen and successful tournament player in his student years in the UK. He put bridge on hold when he went to Australia -- to learn how to surf (never happened) and to sail (sort of happened) -- and instead became a professor of computer science and complex systems.
