Dynamic Defense

Defense is difficult. You have only a vague idea of what your partner has and he has a vague idea of what you have. Your opponent, on the other hand, knows exactly what he has to work with. It is an unequal struggle.

Still, there are some things you can do to help even things up. Asking questions like these can point you in the right direction.

How many tricks does declarer have?
What is declarer’s distribution?
How many high card points does declarer have?
How many high card points does your partner have?

All of these questions and the answers to them are useful guides to finding the winning defense.

Dynamic Defense takes you through sixty-five bridge problems that start with the bidding and continue until the defense is over. You will see what a good player thinks about on defense options which are not as routine as they may appear.

Mike Lawrence doesn’t teach rules to memorize; he schools his reader in beneficial habits and patterns of thought. After reading this book (repeatedly, gaining added benefit each time), my opponents began to think we were playing bridge with glass cards.

JOHN SMITH

Mike Lawrence must be a direct descendant of Sherlock Holmes! He uses every scrap of information available on any particular hand/auction, and uses these to arrive at the best bid to make. And it is because of this attention to detail that this (and his other books) are intended for those players in the intermediate or advanced category.

One of the five best bridge books to be shipwrecked with – Mike’s comprehensive work on Overcalls actually transcends the subject and gets near to the inner essence of bridge,

Jay T. Segarra

Lawrence gives insight into his own considerations when making bidding decisions and makes it clear that many decisions are not absolute. But following the logic and type of arguments he presents you will get more and more decisions right. I strongly recommend his books to every bridge player who aspires to improve his or her game.
