Play of the Hand, Part 1

Thursday Afternoons, 2:15 - 4:15 PM, at Temple Reyim, West Newton
7 sessions, Oct 31 - Dec 19 (see below for specific dates)

This class focuses on how to make a plan of action once you are declarer.
We will learn and practice a new declarer play technique each week.
We will also review basic bidding.
You will learn by doing and playing several hands each class.
We will turn up each hand after play and review it for bidding, play, and defense while it is still fresh in your mind.
You will take home handouts with clear explanations and quizzes to reinforce what you just learned.
You will receive copies of every hand played in class with written analysis of the suggested bid, play and defense.

Prerequisite: Must know basic Modern Standard American Bidding.
You should have taken a Bridge class in the past two years or equivalent playing experience.

Topics covered will include:

I expect to cover only the first 3-4 topics in the 7 sessions in November and December.
Reviewing the bidding, learning defense, and declarer play usually require two classes for each numbered topic.
I will cover the rest during the Winter session starting January 9th.
