Description

This class is for players with skills, those needing a refresher, and those who are ready for more complex play. The goal--to build a firm foundation for your bidding and declarer and defensive play. We'll use Standard American bidding based on 5-card majors and will cover important bidding conventions such as Blackwood, Stayman, transfers and negative doubles. Building on that knowledge, we'll take it to the next level with competitive conventions like Jacoby 2NT, Support Doubles and New Minor Forcing. The class will also cover advances in defensive play: what to discard, giving count, and how to use suit preference signals.
