	The Losing Trick Count and Shortage points. When you first learn Bridge you are told that when you have found and agreed an eight card suit as trumps then you can add Shortage points to your High Card Points for Voids, Singletons and Doubletons. The problem comes in knowing how many points to add (and sometimes in remembering to do it!) as there are several views which you might term ranging from the optimistic to the pesimistic. The modern LTC addresses these issues giving in my view the REALISTIC trick taking capabilty of hands. It is my favourite Bridge Gizmo!
	How to evaluate balanced hands to give a realistic view of the trick taking capabilty. Taking you beyond counting points!
	A "How To" guide to improving your Declarer play in both suit and No Trump contracts.Detailed explanations and examples are provided along with some exercises for you.
	Using the losing trick count to communicate the strength of an overcall. Suit quality as 2 of top 3 or 3 of top 5 honours and intermediates is essential
