Bridge workshops ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣

Two hours on one convention, then you play it.

Each workshop pairs a two-hour lesson with two hours of Play of the Hand. Replays include 4 to 5 hours of video, a 30 to 50 page workbook, a two-page cheatsheet and hands to practice on BBO or BridgeChamp.

Workshop 14 is coming up. Learn Reverse Drury with me, live on Wednesday, September 30.
♠ NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP · SEPTEMBER 30

Reverse Drury Workshop

Do You Actually Have It? You passed, and partner opens a major in third or fourth seat. Reverse Drury replaces the guess with a question: 2♣ asks whether partner has a full opener, so you invite or stop with confidence.
