Looking for clues while defending against 1NT & upcoming play session with Graeme Tuffnell
Jul 27, 2021 1:31 pm
Greetings, bridge friends ~
I thought I was asking Graeme about how to best play a recent hand I defended against 1NT. Defending against 1NT remains one of my ongoing struggles and I was once again flummoxed. The results for this hand were evenly spit and I wanted to know what made the difference.
In true Graeme-fashion, rather than focusing on the results, he encourages us to dive in deeper looking for all the clues that help us see the unseen hands, while - at the same time - taking a broader perspective beyond the outcome of this (or any) particular hand.
Join us as Graeme walks us through this hand, trick by trick.

Upcoming 2-week Lesson & Play Session with Graeme Tuffnell:
The Ups and Downs of Bridge
Thursdays, August 5 & 12 at 9:30am UK time / 8:30pm NZ time
Can't join us live? Don't worry: video replays and playable hands will remain available for six months to all students.
In this special 2-part lesson & play session combo, Graeme will help us prepare for the ups and downs we all feel while playing at the bridge table.
On Thursday, August 5, Graeme will teach a live lesson about the many ways we can improve our play beyond our bidding and card play decisions. Over the next week, we can play eight hands created for this event, leaving comments and questions for Graeme after each hand. Then, on August 12, Graeme will review the hands and questions.
Message from Graeme:
A session of bridge can be an emotional roller-coaster. You know it’s true! All those bidding lessons and card play techniques which seemed so logical in class seem impossible when you get to the table and it feels like you’re hurtling down space mountain. Let’s spend some time preparing for the ride so we can play bridge to our true potential.
Both this lesson and play session are already included for members of Graeme's weekly class.
