DEMON DEFENSE AND DEMON DOUBLING:
Defend With Skill and Double for Keeps
by Augie Boehm
HNB Publishing June 2004; ISBN 0-9728061-4-8; 172 pp., paper; $13.95
Doubling for penalties increases the stakes and raises the blood pressure. For this you need
confidence, and that is where tight defense plays a crucial role. Good defenders are willing
to risk more penalty doubles. Demon Doublers are not born; they rise from the ranks of Demon
Defenders. That is why this book begins with defense, to build a confident foundation for
doubling. Part II explains when to double (and when not to) and shows how defending doubled
contracts, especially partials, has a rhythm of its own. When you have absorbed the lessons
in this book, be prepared for a change in your bridge life. You will win more--a lot more.
The book will have strong appeal to tournament players of intermediate ability.
