ACBL Bridge Series

By Audrey Grant

ACBL Bridge Series: Defense by Audrey Grant

This course focuses on opening leads, second and third-hand play, signals, planning and developing tricks.

Defense is 50% of the play, and nowhere is partnership communication more important than when defending a contract. Communicating through choosing the card to play at each trick is challenging and fun. Learning defensive card play will enhance enjoyment and improve results.
