Informational endpapers. "Many tournament veterans use rubber bridge tactics in duplicate games without being aware that the two games are very different. Once you have become familiar with the inner philosophy of duplicate biddng and play, you will be able to separate the games in your mind and gain the utmost pleasure from being at home in both fields. A duplicate tournament is a bridge contest in which each hand is fully bid and played at one table, after which the very same hand is bid and played by entirely different people at another table. Everything except the players remains the same: the cards, the position of the dealer, the vulnerability - everything you can think of. The re-play duplicates the original conditions. If those cards are good, it is up to you to win more with them than the other fellow does; and if those cards are bad, your task is to lose less with them. The luck of the deal, so important at ordinary rubber bridge, simply doesn't exist in duplicate bridge.

Informational endpapers. "Many tournament veterans use rubber bridge tactics in duplicate games without being aware that the two games are very different. Once you have become familiar with the inner philosophy of duplicate biddng and play, you will be able to separate the games in your mind and gain the utmost pleasure from being at home in both fields. A duplicate tournament is a bridge contest in which each hand is fully bid and played at one table, after which the very same hand is bid and played by entirely different people at another table. Everything except the players remains the same: the cards, the position of the dealer, the vulnerability - everything you can think of. The re-play duplicates the original conditions. If those cards are good, it is up to you to win more with them than the other fellow does; and if those cards are bad, your task is to lose less with them. The luck of the deal, so important at ordinary rubber bridge, simply doesn't exist in duplicate bridge.
