This class presents the basics of defending a bridge hand, not
by giving you a lot of "rules," but by explaining how to think.
It is intended for newer players, but reviewing it won't hurt
more experienced players either. Most players agree that defense
is the hardest part of the game; this class gives each student a
chance to practice essential defensive techniques and to
interactively discuss and analyze many interesting and
instructive hands. Each Lesson is 2 Hours long and includes:
Lecture (with sample hands) Supervised Play (prepared hands,
reinforcing the Key Lesson points) Review & discussion of the
played hands (Optional, separately priced) Student text
includes: Written analysis of the sample hands and the Notes
