An invitation to send for a free examination copy of An Evening of
Bridge with Charles Goren the SECOND learn-by-playing set
developed by the world's most famous bridge expert. It's guaranteed
to help you play more skillfully, more confidently, and with higher
scores or you don't pay a .cent!
You Can Play As Many As 96 Different Hands
with Charles Goren "by your side."
roULD you like to be the best bridge
player in your circle of friends . . .
a sought-after partner ... the authority
others turn to for advice? It's simpler
than you might think and it's fun with
this remarkable new discovery by Charles
Coren, the man who pioneered Point
Count Bidding. It's not a book, not a
course, but an entirely new CONCEPT of
mastering both bidding and playing.
An Eveninc of Bridge with Charles Goren is a
brand-new set with a completely different manual and
set of cards. But, like the earlier Charles Goren's New
Way to Better Bridge, it is based on one of the oldest
and most successful learning theories: experience is the
best teacher.
With Mr. Goren's discovery, you learn by playing actual
bridge hands. The only difference is that the hands have
been scientifically predetermined to provide you with a
wide variety of "key" decisions. Throughout each game
Charles Goren is "by your side" pointing out ways to
improve your bids and plays. You pick up the experience
you need at the same time as you enjoy some of the most
stimulating bridge sessions you ever had.
Here's How It Works
A deck of specially-coded playing cards is dealt out
according to the marks on the backs; so that each player
gets one of 24 predetermined bridge hands. Each has been
carefully chosen to cover a variety of challenging situa
tions. No one knows what the other's hand is!
You bid the hand. Then you open the manual to see
what bid Goren would have made and why! At this
point, the comments on the actual play of the hand are
on another page and cannot be seen. You then start play
ing. Make your own decisions and your own mistakes.
When the hand is over (or during its course if you prefer)
you open the manual for a complete play-by-play com
mentary by Mr. Goren. And, of course, if you play differ
ent positions at different times, you will have 96 individual
hands that you can play.
Meet Your Instructor, Charles H. Goren
You'll be taking bridge lessons from the man who is the
Number One ranking player of the United States (ac
cording to the ratings of the American Contract Bridge
League). Only player in the history of bridge who has
won every major U. S. championship. He appears on
the nationally televised show, "Championship Bridge"
(ABC-TV, Sunday afternoons). -
Like Private Lessons
by America's Greatest
Bridge Bxpert
You play each hand with three
friends just as you ordinarily
would (or if you prefer you may
even play "solitaire"). The only
difference is that you have a
bridge expert (in this case
America's No. 1 expert) "look
ing over your shoulder." Through
the advice in the 121-page
manual, he explains strategies
and rules, the reasons for various
plays and bids. He gives you
specific advice about specific bids and plays.
You do NOT bother about learning abstract theories or
hard-to-remember rules. By actually bidding and playing
each hand and then having it thoroughly reviewed and
explained by Goren you cannot help absorbing a tre
mendous amount of expert and practical "know-how."
Your game will improve automatically.
