| 2019 Spring Cleaning |
I have taken down a lot of the older played hands, but have left up the bridge movies from class. More will be posted here from future classes. If you enjoy any of my movies here, many more by other authors can be found on www.bridgebase.com. Go to practice. Movies. Larry Cohen has two very good ones there, there are a couple of hundred others. Our last class of the season will be held on April 13.

LEad KatarAct against Notrump Contracts - Click fo movie after reading general idea below.
The lead of a King asks for partner's attitude about the lead. K=Asks Attitude therefore from AKx, you can lead KING and see if hits partner
The lead of an Ace asks partner to unblock an honor, failing that to give count, therefore from AKJT9, you can try the ACE and run the suit if partner unblocks the Queen. If partner gives count, you can guage whether to try drop declarer's Queen or wait for partner to get in to lead through declarer.

| 2019 combinations to date |
click on this story for a movie covering the card combinations we reviewed and or covered two Saturdays ago. Then, each of the combinations was included in one or more hands. This movie takes them out of the context of a hand to make them quicker to review. You can use this movie to review or to catchup. The December 15 class will pick up from here and coverr variations of these combinations and many more common combinations, most in the context of a full deal. . We will do other "stuff" also but this will be one of the major thrusts of this weeks class. We will also lay some foundation ( or review) basic defensive carding and why we might play one method versus another.
Hope to See You Saturday.
