Publisher Description
Much of the complexity in bridge arises from the difficulty of arriving at a good final contract in the auction. Standard American Yellow Card is a specific set of partnership agreements and conventions, using Standard American as a base. Standard American Yellow Card is a very specific collection of agreements, which can, of course, be modified and augmented by partnership agreement. In practical use, the term is often mis-used to refer to Standard American in general, or it could refer to a system that used SAYC as a base and made additional augmentations or changes to the base agreements.
Customer Reviews
Misleading Title
This book is a survey of every bidding system variation, getting around to SAYC only in the last 10% of the book. When it finally gets there it is no better than free ACBL.org learning aids. It got 2 stars instead of 1 because of the Bridge Base variation (close enough to SAYC to be useful).
If you want to learn pure SAYC, download and print the print free ACBL SAYC booklet with matching SAYC convention card (front and back flipped on short edge), fold in half to get a 12-page booklet, and study that. Then if you want to go beyond that free booklet, look elsewhere.
