2026 Defensive Play   

Revamped and New

2nd Hand Play

 

Start your morning with some coffee and a very special bridge lesson from NABC champion and ABTA master teacher, Kevin Wilson. The class covers trick-taking skills and defensive tactics. The lessons will be presented on BBO & Zoom. You will get access to four classes over consecutive weeks, a short write-up of examples, and video replays for each class to watch at your leisure.

Monday February 9th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT -5.0)

2nd Hand Play – The golden rule for second-hand play is developed and explained.  This valuable rule will serve you for a lifetime of bridge play.

 

Monday February 16th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT -5.0)          

More 2nd Hand Play – This class will provide additional examples and focus on covering honors with honors and when not to cover an honor with an honor.

 

Monday February 23rd from 9:00 AM -9:50 AM EST (GMT -5.0)

Splitting Honors – This second-hand play technique prevents the declarer from winning tricks cheaply and builds tricks for the defense. 

 

Monday March 2nd from 9:00AM EST- 9:30 AM EST (GMT -5.0)

2nd Hand High – There are exceptions (only a few!) to the golden rule. It is worth an advanced level class to understand why there are exceptions and how to spot opportunities to play 2nd hand high on occasion.

Overcaller and Advancer

 

 

Add some fun to your day and bridge game with a series of bridge lessons from NABC champion and ABTA master teacher, Kevin Wilson. The lessons will be presented on BBO & Zoom. You will get access to four classes over consecutive weeks, a short write-up of examples, and video replays. This is an advanced-intermediate level bidding and convention agreements course.

Wednesday February 11th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT-5)

Overcaller and Advancer – The overcaller (or takeout doubler) and the advancer are partners.  Begin to think about the strategy in competitive bidding once the opponents have opened the bidding

 

Wednesday February 18th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT-5)

Overcall vs. Opening Bid - The difference between overcalling and opening the bidding changes some HCP ranges for your partner. Analyze the differences in strategy between each and how it may affect your close decisions.

 

Wednesday February 25th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT-5)

Using the Law in Competitive Bidding – This is a guideline (not an actual law) which can help you make the difficult decisions about whether to compete to the three-level or let the opponents have the contract.  Bidding three over three will also be discussed, and the use of a jump cuebid will be included.

                                            

Wednesday March 4th from 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM EST (GMT-5)
