Features: This book is one of the "Introduction to Sports Series." The content is concise, easy to understand, and highlights knowledge, practicality, fun, and readability. It helps in carrying out grassroots sports work and physical education teaching in primary and secondary schools, and serves as a reliable guide for sports enthusiasts to engage in physical exercise. "A good teacher can open the door, but practice makes perfect." However, after the "three-day introduction," readers are likely to be further attracted by the knowledge, fun, and scientific nature of bridge. Compared to this, they may become more interested in bidding and defense techniques. Although improving bidding theory is crucial in competitive bridge, based on the general needs of beginners, the author begins with "Basic Card Play Principles and Convention Play in Contract Bridge" in Chapter 2; Chapter 3 covers "General Bidding and Defense Techniques"; Chapter 4 is "Improving Card Play Skills"; followed by "Advanced Card Play Techniques," "Forcing Conventions," and "An Introduction to the Standard American Bidding System" for reference. This book is primarily written for beginners who are truly new to bridge but want to learn it.
