Features: As the responsible editor of this book, I feel greatly honored to first experience the thinking patterns and innovative awareness of the older generation of bridge players. Because this book, while pointing out bridge bidding pitfalls, unintentionally guides readers into the higher realm of bridge art. Although the book is filled with spontaneous and casual discussions, and some arguments may not be entirely rigorous, you can still pick up a variety of exquisite bridge art treasures effortlessly, all of which embody the author's decades of wisdom in bridge playing. Bidding pitfalls refer to those seemingly plausible but actually incorrect bridge bidding theories and principles, as well as actions misguided by flawed thinking. Naturally, this also includes "trendy" directions that violate basic bidding principles. Bidding, after all, is ultimately measured and calculated in terms of winning tricks, so the ultimate goal of bidding in each hand is to realize the objective value of the first-hand card. In team competitions, there are four principles that can serve as judgment standards: synchronization, balanced gains and losses, more gains than losses, and the pursuit of novelty, rather than relying solely on "the book" or "agreements."
