Features: The author has previously written another book on bidding tips, and this book focuses on the subject of declarer play. The target readers of this book are those who are eager to improve their bridge skills but have not yet reached the level of experts. Unlike the previous book on bidding tips, the tips in this book are non-controversial. You can use them as your own knowledge storage. There are as many as 557 tips in this book, making it evident that you will certainly feel a sense of familiarity with some of them. However, the vast majority of the tips are original. Throughout the writing process, the author consistently adheres to a central theme: if you seriously wish to improve your declarer play, you must do the following: (1) Learn to view a hand as a whole rather than focusing only on one suit; (2) Develop a declarer plan; (3) Pay attention to the opponents' bids, including no bid; (4) Observe the opponents' opening leads and signals; (5) Trust the opponents, as when they take a specific defensive line, there must be a reason for it; (6) Understand how to force the opponents to make mistakes; (7) Always calculate what is happening at the table, including the opponents' strength, distribution, and tricks, and never forget to calculate your own tricks.
