Advanced Bridge Series

 

This is a new initiative this year. aimed specifically at players keen to develop their game beyond the club duplicate level.  At this level it 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.

 

How does this series work?

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.

 

Who should go?

Any player interested in knowing more about competitive play and what it involves.

 

When is it?

The first lesson looks at interfering and handling interference over 1NT – when should you do interfere and how should can you handle interference.

The lesson is on Sunday 28th 1:30pm and the mentored play the week after on Sunday 4th February.

 

Cost?

  • $25 per member for the lesson and $18 per member for the playing session
  • $30 per visitor for the lesson and $22 per visitor for the playing session
