RELATIVELY NEW BOOK: "Playing 2/1 The Rest of the Story". For those who want to add modern sophistication to their 2/1 bidding. Here, at last, Paul Thurston delivers the long awaited followup to his ABTA 2003 Book of the Year - 25 Steps to Learning 2/1. This followup book describes an understandable and playable version of todays 2/1, something that has been missing from the literature until now.
