<p>Are you tired of learning/teaching bridge from a cookbook? Tired of memorizing how many points you need to bid this or that? Do you have trouble determining if you have a minimum, medium or maximum hand and what to do if it fits into a particular category? Then <em>Yes, No or Maybe</em> is what you need. This is a series of three textbooks and companion workbooks for beginning bridge students. The series uses a logical paradigm for making bidding decisions by formulating two basic questions: “Do we have a fit in a major suit?” and “Do we want to be in a game contract?” All partnership bidding after an opening bid or intervention is guided by the answers (Yes, No or Maybe) to these questions and some fundamental bidding guidelines.</p><p>Introduction and Card Play Basics covers the mechanics of the game, a little bridge history, scoring, hand valuation and preferred contracts, along with the basics of declarer play and defense. No real bidding is included here but MiniBridge or a variant is used for sample and practice deals. The Yes, No, Maybe bidding concepts are introduced for the determination of preferred contracts.</p><p><em>I only wish that such a book had existed when I was starting out.</em><br/>Barbara Seagram<br/>Author of<em> 25 Bridge Conventions You Should Know</em></p>
