| | Description | Selecting the best line of play in a bridge hand as declarer is not easy. Most novices know something about basic odds and percentages, and can often find a line that offers a reasonable chance of success. However, the expert will skilfully combine options, so as to take advantage of more than chance. Rather than putting all his eggs in one basket, he will 'stay alive', squeezing out every extra chance. In this book of intermediate bridge problems, Eddie Kantar shows the reader how to do this - there is always a line of play that will allow you take all your chances, and bring home your contract. | |

 Great Teaching Book Jun 20, 2010
By Godfrey P. Oakley, Jr.
This is Kantar at his best. You are given a hand without the answer, just the question. After thinking about the hand and planning the play or trying to find the winning line, there is a one page discussion of the hand. This is a wonderful way to learn. I keep re reading them, like I keep redoing the hands that are on the Lawrence CDs hoping that I learn to recognize the issues in them. When I can get more of them (and recognize them at the table) I will be a better bridge player. Just ordered a new copy for my wife's birthday present.

The best book on declarer play Apr 13, 2010
By HONG SUP HAHN
"Pi Hahn"
I have about 150 bridge books and read many of them.
But I think this book "Take All Your Chances at Bridge"
by Eddie Kantar is the best book, not just one of the best,
on "declarer play". My thinking is this book is highly
recommeneded for intermdiate and advanced bridge players.

 Collection of Bridge Hands, Limited Instruction Aug 28, 2010
By Richard Osborne
The book contains a collection of 100 bridge hands and asks you to plan your play. Then it shows you what you should have done. It is analogous to having 100 daily newspaper bridge columns. The examples are challenging. There is a sprinkling of percentages shown in many of the examples on the chances. The book does not explain how to calculate these percentages on your own. The book only minimally generalizes the examples into categories. I find this bottom-up approach to be lacking. Unless I happen to have the exact same hand in a bridge game (and remember it), I have not been taught how to evaluate bridge hands that I will face. If you are like me and want a top-down teaching method, then this is not the book for you.

best ever Nov 03, 2010
By Francis Applegate
I believe of all of the books written by Eddie Kantar this has to rate near the top if not the top book of all. I have read it 3 times through and learned something each time. What he suggests to do in certain situations has proven valuable to me in play.

 Solid Beginner/Intermediate level book Nov 30, 2010
By B. Einhorn
I recommend this book for beginners and low intermediates, not for advanced intermediates. It focuses on getting the reader to look for additional chances to make a trick before taking a finesse.
For example - before taking a finesse is there another suit you can try to establish by ruffing, or seeing if a key card drops. Such as Ax opposite KJxx you can ruff once and hopefully the Q drops, if not take a different finesse. A few routine end plays are included.
I'm not knocking the book, its fine, but its pretty routine (if you have read a lot of bridge books). Kantar has better books even though this is ok for its target audience. If you are intermediate+ this book is too basic for you.
