relknes Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Does anyone know where to get a writeup of the orriginal K-S system? I have a modern version via http://www.bridgeguys.com/pdf/KaplanSheinwold.pdf, but there are many deviations from the orriginal scheme, especially in the followups.

Bbradley62 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 http://www.dreamalotbooks.com/Hobby_Craft.htmIt also appears that many libraries (especially university libraries) still carry the 1957 book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Try Amazon. You can get the original book (1963) for just a few bucks. Kaplan Sheinwold Updated (1973) is available from Baron-Barclay. Both written by Edgar, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 imo, the best resource is: http://www.bridgeworld.com/default.asp?d=editorial_dept&f=edgarkaplan/ksupdated.html Thanks to The Bridge World for making this available to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Long as we're on the subject, you may also want to keep your eye out for Bridge is a Partnership Game, the "original Roth-Stone book," from 1957 or 1958. (Admittedly mostly of historical interest - it has quite a few treatments that did not stand the test of time well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babalu1997 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 the bidding theory of the 1962 book is fantastic,and bidding judgement is very good kaplan's book on the contested auction is well ahead of its time. i became a fan years ago the ks reverses and the bidding of fragments will teach you a lot. i actully played the system exactly as the bridge world sute briefly, but then partner went away one day, maybe i will find another one.

jh51 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 In college I had the original KS book, and a number of folks in the dorm played KS as well. I enjoyed having the systemic controlled psyche available. Alas, the powers that be (ACBL, at least) have decided that this is toy that is no longer in our playpen.
