Bridge Course - Common Problems Faced in Social Bridge

Social Bridge Courses - teaching and friendly play in small classes.

The focus of this new course is on exploring and explaining common problems faced by social / kitchen bridge players and will provide plenty of time to practise new knowledge and skills through random and pre-set hands. It is designed to provide practical help and will be paced to meet the needs of the class. 

The course will explore and address common problems in bidding such as:

• What is my partner telling me; 
• Finding a fit; 
• Showing the shape of hands; 
• Variations of responses to 1 No Trump; 
• Opening with strong hands - and lead into techniques for competitive bidding as appropriate such as:
• Doubling;
• Weak and jump overcalls;
• Showing shape through Cue Bids and Unusual 2 No Trumps.

Card Play will also be a major feature of this new course using random and pre-set hands and will cover

• Signals and discards;
• Active & passive defence;
• Counting winners and losers;
• Unblocking
