«No Trump Contracts» is David Bird's bridge guide, published by D&B Publishing in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Explains how to approach no-trump contracts in bridge, a mode in which there is no suit to protect winning cards and the game focuses on suit management. It reviews the difficult decisions that arise during the hand, such as whether to finesse, which hand is dangerous, or when to duck a trick, and then proposes exercises to put each principle into practice.
Part of the Essential Bridge Plays series, dedicated to bridge technique. First edition published in May 2003.
Aimed at bridge enthusiasts interested in mastering no-trump contracts.
