Defensive Play 2

Third Hand Play and Partnership Defense

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 June 16th from 9:00 AM EDT- 9:50 AM EDT (GMT -4.0)

3rd hand Play – The third hand player is typically the “traffic cop” for the defense.  Learn to adopt this persona and how to direct the flow of the play.  This session will also cover understanding and using the Rule of 11 on defense.

More 3rd Hand Play – The differences between the defender who leads to a trick and the third hand player will be covered.  Understanding these unique card-play differences is a key to defending better.

Finessing the Dummy – Two simple and easy to learn rules for helping the defense get the most tricks when dummy has an honor and the third-hand player has a choice of plays.

 

Monday July 7th from 9:00AM EDT- 9:50 AM EDT (GMT -4.0)

Transportation on Defense – There are rules and ideas for returning partner’s suit and this will help you know who has what and how to defend.  This session also covers signaling an entry to partner so that your partner can get to your hand.
