In this book grand-master H. W. Kelsey reverts to the formula that proved so popular in Test Your Match Play and The Tough Game. Having fought through to the final of the Gold Cup, you are faced with old rivals against whom you always play with a certain degree of 'needle.' As anchor player, you are invited to the South seat and guide your team to victory over an obstacle course of sixty-four testing problems in play and defense. Tension quickly builds up as one tricky problem follows another under match conditions with only two hands in view. Many of the hands are difficult and you will need to have all your wits about you to keep ahead of the game. Each set of eight boards is followed by a detailed analysis of the hands, and you are allowed a few moments to relax and compare scores with your team-mates. Even if you finish on the losing side in this match, you will have a great deal of fun playing the hands and will profit from the lessons learned.
