I don't know if I got it right or not. If so - I give it a 5, if not, something more than that based on the scale that is developing on this forum.

About that scale. I remember reading something Bobby Wolf said, essentially, that most hands are pretty easy. It is the maybe 20% of hands (and maybe even 5% of hands) that separate the average from the good from the great players. So - all of these 7NT hands are really 9's or 10's based on the entire universe of hands that are played. I mean really, how many hands did you need to get through to come up with these?

That and others...

I don't envision this as a book, but rather interactive webpage, or a series of PDF;s. And it is more than a classification of plays, it is meant as a tool to provide some sequence of things to consider for people who are not yet gifted at bridge, but who want to improve.
