Advanced bridge series
Open and competition bridge is increasingly about bidding (and playing) hands to their maximum; or more colloquially “going as close to the edge as possible without falling over it”. This applies to part scores, games and slams. Judging when and how to apply the pressure, and conversely having the tools to deal with pressure opponents put you under, is crucial. Finding this balance – being active enough to find your contracts and give the opponents issues while not being punished - is the challenge.
This series of advanced lessons is aimed at players keen to develop their game beyond the club duplicate level and compete in local and national events.
Each topic in the series will involve two workshops. The first workshop is a more traditional lesson, while the second workshop is a mentored play session. The lessons will be run by our own, well renowned teacher Will Jenner-O'Shea. The play sessions let players practice the skills and discuss the issues with a number of the club's best players. You may attend just the lesson or the mentored play. Detailed notes will be provided.
