Hi ,

I'm happy to share a free lesson Pam Livingston taught this week - the first in her new weekly class focused on defence. Many thanks to her students who could join us live. We'd be so happy to welcome any of you to the class - you can register for a free 2-week trial. Enjoy!

For half the hands that are played, we are defending . Instead of thinking “oh its their turn to have the fun” let’s turn that around to “here’s our opportunity to get a good score!”

Defending is about working together as a partnership – our friend across the table is giving us reliable information so that we can make good decisions and vice versa.

But defence is tricky to learn (and to teach!). Unlike bidding and declarer play there aren’t so many rules and techniques to learn. It’s about thinking, looking for clues, and thinking some more.

Join me for my defence class and we will think about the hands together – looking for clues to lead us down a sensible path.
