Book Overview: Nowadays good opponents are unlikely to leave the auction to you just because you hold the majority of high cards. Many auctions are contested, leaving you with less bidding space and, consequently, many more undiscussed sequences. Understanding the Contested Auction helps you get to grips with the principles that will guide you through the maze of competitive bidding, and demonstrates how you can inconvenience your opponents should they have the balance of strength.
