This new edition covers most of the common conventions, and the authors have streamlined the text to give clear explanations in as little as two pages. The authors explain the logic behind each convention, and that will help the aspiring player perhaps more than a lot of detail. The quiz that follows enables readers to check if they have grasped the use of the method explained. I particularly liked the excellent treatment of Stayman , which can be used with some weak hand types, and agree with the authors that a 2NT response to the 2 enquiry does not exist.
Hands then follow to prove the point.
