The library

Every workshop we teach

Ten 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.

Workshop, $25
Strong 2 Clubs Workshop

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

Workshop, $25
Takeout Doubles Workshop

The most flexible call in bridge. When to double, what it asks of partner, and how to respond.

Workshop, $25
Two Over One Workshop

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

Workshop, $15
Negative Doubles Workshop

The opponents overcall and your major is stuck. The negative double keeps it in the auction.

Workshop, $25
Weak 2 Bids Workshop

The most disruptive opening bid in bridge. Steal their auction with a six-card suit and 5 to 10 points, then find your game.

Workshop, $25
