The library

Every workshop we teach

Eleven focused workshops, each built around one convention and taught in plain English. Come to the live session or get the replay.

Most of these workshops also have a free written guide, no ticket needed. Read Stayman, Jacoby Transfers, Takeout Doubles, Negative Doubles, Two Over One, Strong 2♣, the convention card, or defensive signals first, then pick the workshop you want.

Newer than that? Start with the free complete beginner's guide to bridge and keep the 50-term glossary open beside you.

Stayman Workshop

Partner opens 1NT and you hold a four-card major. 2♣ asks the question that finds your fit.

Replay, $25
Jacoby Transfers Workshop

Show your five-card major over 1NT and let the strong hand declare. The partner of Stayman.

Strong 2 Clubs Workshop

The one opening bid that says "I have a monster." What 2♣ promises and how the auction unfolds.

Two Over One Workshop

The game-forcing framework tournament pairs rely on to bid the right games and slams.

What if I have trouble logging in?

Our team helps Monday through Friday during US daytime hours. Email [email protected] with the address you bought with and what you are seeing, and a screenshot if you can.

What is your refund policy?

If a workshop does not work the way we described it, we will make it right. Our team gets your access working Monday through Friday, and if we genuinely cannot, we refund you. Once you have opened the content the sale is final, and problems with your own device or connection are not grounds for a refund, because we would rather fix those than refund them.

Do I need a partner or tournament experience?

No. Each workshop focuses on one convention and is taught in plain English. If you know the basics of bidding, you can follow along.
