| An Introduction to Strong & Fives ... with John Guest |
An Introduction to
Strong & Fives
with John Guest
Saturday 7th November
10:30 – 15:00
(BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH!)
John Guest will be running a short course introducing players to
the Strong and Five bidding system.
This is becoming increasingly used and is taught to the young people attending the national training scheme. This day is not intended to equip you to play this system but will help you to understand what it is and what other players will be using as your opponents.
We’ll start at 10:30 and go though the basic elements of Strong NT and 5 card Majors.
Then we will explore the mysteries of 2 over 1 and inverted minors.
As always, I will only talk for a short time and there will be lots of boards to illustrate these elements.
A short break, 45mins, for lunch (bring your own) and then lots of relevant boards to play using the conventions you have been shown, aiming to finish by 3pm.
There will be a short handout to take away.
The cost will be £10.00.
It would help John to know approximately how many people are coming
so please drop him an email, johnguest48@outlook.com
