"If defence is the hardest part of playing bridge (and it is!) then defending at matchpoint scoring is the toughest challenge a player can face. Every trick matters, irrespective of the contract, and every decision is potentially critical. In his previous book, "Thinking on Defence", Jim Priebe introduced the idea of visualization, picturing likely hands for declarer and basing defensive strategy on those. In this book, he show how to apply the same methods when playing in matchpoint events, which means essentially every pairs competition."--Publisher description.

MATCHPOINT DEFENSE - Kick it up a Notch is a new book for duplicate players. MATCHPOINT DEFENSE teaches techniques that go beyond the basics that are used on every hand. Many of the book's forty-one hands are directly from club-level tournaments, so the reader gets to see that the techniques work and that good defense keeps moving daily scores upward.Excellent defense is much more important in duplicate than in Team-of-Four, Swiss Team, or Rubber Bridge. That's why MATCHPOINT DEFENSE is 100% about matchpoint defense. In matchpoint, every extra trick you get is golden. It doesn't matter whether you limit declarer's overtricks, set her contract, or cause an extra undertrick. GAME ON!MATCHPOINT DEFENSE explores topics like knowing which cards partner still has later in the hand, defensive carding to win that elusive last trick, and imagining declarer's plan so you can thwart it.

We play a lot of bridge that is scored in matchpoints, but much of what is published shows decisions that are appropriate for IMP games. Why? Well as Jerry Helms says in his popular Bridge Bulletin column (October 2020), "...higher-level players prefer IMP games because IMP games may have less randomness in the results." MATCHPOINT DEFENSE and MATCHPOINT OFFENSE are completely about decisions you make while playing duplicate scored in matchpoints - where every trick you get counts equally. it doesn't matter whether you are getting an overtrick, one less undertrick, or whether the trick makes or sets a contract.Anne Lund author and owner of the excellent site bridgeclues2.com, (written with Mike Lawrence), says: "Stuart Terry with his co-authors (Assserson and Toobs) presents this excellent two-book series that modifies players' defense and offense specifically to score better at duplicate bridge. Engaging hands and humorous prose accompany you as you capture one extra trick."MATCHPOINT DEFENSE is the rare book written completely about the next-level of defense. This book emphasizes building a picture of your partner's hand before the first card is played, in the middle-game, and in the end-game.MATCHPOINT OFFENSE shows the ways to get an extra trick when you are declarer. Lund writes: "Enjoy the quiz in the second section and learn how an expert visualizes the hand before the first card is played. See how well you do compared to others, while you dissect the hand with the authors in the post-mortem." MATCHPOINT OFFENSE also includes a complete 24- board tournament with extensive commentary.

Defense is the most difficult part of bridge, and for most players, the hardest part of defense is figuring out what kind of strategy they should be pursuing. In this book, the reader is shown step-by-step how to visualise declarer's cards from the bidding and play, and then how to use this information to form a plan for the defense. This book is based on Jim Priebe's popular articles 'Visualisation on Defense' which appeared in the ACBL Bulletin in early 2001.

The 1940 Ogdensburg Agreement entrenched a formal defence relationship between Canada and the United States – but was Canadian sovereignty upheld? Sovereignty and Command combines historical narrative with conceptual analysis of sovereignty, command and control systems, military professionalism, and civil-military relations to document the sometimes fractious Canada–US continental air defence relationship. Richard Goette argues that a functional military transition from an air defence system based on cooperation to one based on integrated and centralized command and control under NORAD allowed Canada to retain command of its forces and thus protect Canadian sovereignty.

Innumerable books have been written on declarer play. Far less attention has been paid by bridge writers to defense, which is the weakest part of most players’ game. This book presents a series of problems in defensive play, the central theme being active versus passive defense. This problem may start with the opening lead, arise at Trick Two, or be a decision later during the play of the hand. Going ‘active’ when one should have remained ‘passive’ and vice versa is probably the most common defensive error players make, allowing contracts to slip thru. Some of the deals shown are more difficult than others, but they all contain a principle that can be applied in similar situations. After working on these problems and answers, the reader will find his defensive skills are enormously improved.

A debut middle grade graphic novel by Maddie Gallegos about two girls: one who hates racquetball and another who loves it—and the strong friendship that blossoms through, and often despite, the sport. Rosie Vo is at odds with her dad. He pushes his racquetball hobby on to her to the point that she dreads ever spending time with him. Thankfully, new kid Blair moves to town and becomes fast friends with Rosie. She's cool, a great listener, and even better, the best distraction from the tension Rosie feels at home. Rosie’s convinced Blair is the answer to all her dad-problems. If only Blair could be the racquetball genius Rosie's dad has always wanted! But Blair disagrees, hoping to show her that with a friend by her side, Rosie can face both her dad and racquetball.
