♠ ♥ Want to Improve your Bridge Game?♦ ♣
If your bridge game is a little “rusty” due to the impact of COVID 19, you might consider taking a few lessons on advanced declarer play and winning defence. Muriel Tremblay is offering 8 independent workshops that cover the following important topics:
- Managing Entries – very important for most of your “play” strategies
- Managing Trump Suit – learn how to use your trump suit to best advantage
- Safety and Avoidance Plays – learn how to recognize the dangerous opponent and when to lose a trick to make your contract
- End Plays – get your opponents to play a suit for you
- Squeeze Plays – apply pressure to your opponents to release a card that you need
- Opening Leads – learn about the best advantage that the defence has
- Defending No Trump Contracts – it is a race to set up your long suit
- Defending Suit Contracts – get your tricks before declarer can eliminate losers
You can register for 1 or all of the workshops, held at the Bridge Centre of Niagara in St. Catharines starting September 12, running weekly until October 31: Monday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30. Each workshop provides you with a student handout, 1.5 hours of instruction and 1 hour of practice at the table. The cost is $20 per workshop or $120 for all 8 workshops.
Membership is not required to take our lessons. We do require double vaccinations.
