Hi ,

What a pleasure to have Yaniv Vax join us for a whole lesson on the steps we can use to help us playing suit contracts! Yaniv is a popular teacher in the UK and Israel. He has been an Israel Bridge Federation Professional Bridge Teacher for about 30 years.

Four Steps to Take with Any Suit Contract

1. Count your trumps: find out how many your opponents have and then count backwards to get rid of them.
2. Count losers : remember the long side of the trump suit is your base.
3. Find ways to reduce your losers : trumping in short hand, discard them or use techniques like finesse.
4. Communication: make sure to keep access (usually to the dummy) so you won’t end up with tricks you cannot win.

After watching the video above, try playing all four hands for one of the boards below:
