Description of the Class:

For half the hands that are played, we are defending. Instead of thinking “Oh, it's their turn to have the fun,” let’s turn that around to, “Here is 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.

We will think about the hands together – looking for clues to lead us down a sensible path.
