This hand produced some erratic play and erratic results. Worth taking a look at the full range of results because you should be able to learn something.

This one is going to be too difficult for most new players but it is such a wonderful example of both defence and declarer play that I just HAD to show it to you. It came from a Thursday session in Week 18. I'll put you in the South seat as usual.

If you know of any IT whizz kids who want to learn to play bridge and become world beaters, I can help if THEY can help me with my book publications.

Ultimate Defence

When I first started playing bridge some 50 years ago the game was still in its infancy but we liked to pride ourselves on being good card players, and had confidence in our own ability as well as that of our partners. That is not an easy thing to do, to have confidence in our partner, is it?

Books to read

I have written lots of bridge books for private reading. Anyone interested in some examples can let me know at villyn@xtra.co.nz
