  • The Abcs of ^ Defensive Signals
    The ABCs of ^ Defensive Signals When defending a hand, every card you and your partner play should have a purpose. If the card played cannot win a trick or generate a trick, then it should give partner information about your hand. Three basic signal types exist: attitude signals, count signals and suit preference signals. They work together, and when used thoughtfully, give defenders an advantage in the play of the hand. ATTITUDE SIGNALS Attitude signals are used in two situations: at trick one by the partner of the opening leader and the first time a defender makes a discard in a suit. An attitude signal may be a positive one stating, “Attack this suit!” It may also be a negative signal stating, “We’re wasting our time with this suit.” Good bridge always takes precedence over signaling. In other words, don’t waste a trick just to tell your partner you like a suit. The attitude signal at trick one Partner has made the opening lead and the dummy is tabled. If the card you play is not being used to win a trick, it should tell partner how you feel about the suit he or she led. Is the defense most likely to take their tricks if partner’s suit is continued? Or should the defense attack another suit? The signal you choose is not based solely on the cards you hold. Your choice also takes into account the knowledge of the hand you have gained from the bidding, from partner’s lead, and from the cards that appear in dummy.

  • 52 FACTS of BRIDGE LIFE Good Advice to Give Your Partner by Eddie Kantar
    52 FACTS OF BRIDGE LIFE Good Advice To Give Your Partner By Eddie Kantar Surely a player of your bridge skills is familiar with most or all of the following tips you are about to read. But is your partner? Tips 1-20 are bidding tips. 1. When partner bids two suits and you have an equal number of cards in each suit, take partner back to the first suit even if it means increasing the level. Just do it! You hold: ♠ Axxx ♥ K10x ♦ Jxx ♣ xxx Partner You 1♦ 1♠ 2♥ ? Bid 3♦. Raising hearts (see next tip) or passing partner's reverse, a one-round force, puts you back in kindergarten. 2. A direct raise of a second suit promises four card support (in blood). You hold: ♠ xx ♥ A10x ♦ A10x ♣ K10xxx Partner You 1♠ 2♣ 2♥ ? Rebid 2NT showing 11-12 high-card points. Don’t even thinking of raising hearts with only three. 3. With two five-card suits: open with the higher ranking suit, respond in the higher ranking suit, and overcall in the higher ranking suit. Do not worry about which is the stronger suit. You hold: ♠ x ♥ J10xxx ♦ AKQxx ♣ Kx Open 1♥, not 1♦. Respond 1♥ to an opening 1♣ bid and overcall 1♥ if the opening bid to your right is 1♣. 4. When the bid to your right is strong, a jump by you is weak; when the bid to your right is weak, a jump by you is strong. If partner opens 1♣ and RHO doubles, a jump to 2♠ by you is weak.

  • Understanding Slam Bidding Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    UNDERSTANDING SLAM BIDDING PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Ron Klinger,Andrew Kambites | 128 pages | 13 Nov 2003 | Orion Publishing Co | 9780304366156 | English | London, United Kingdom Understanding Slam Bidding PDF Book Think of a control this way: "If we have a control, the opponents can not take the first 2 tricks in that suit. Sufficient Strength. More reader stories Hide reader stories. Bidding and making a small slam 12 tricks or grand slam 13 tricks yields high bonuses ranging from to points. Bidding is done at the beginning of a round, and it consists of a number and a suit. The convention is rarely used today. You know that the opponents cannot cash 2 club tricks. So the logical approach to slam bidding is: - the partnership finds a fit or possibly no-trumps if there is no fit - one player realises that the total strength of the combined hands is in the slam region - check the necessary first round controls aces - check the necessary second round controls kings if interested in a grand slam. To bid in a controlled auction to a successful slam is one of the great pleasures of bridge. The card you choose will also help you to signal to your partner which card is your strongest suit, so choose wisely. Main article: Cue bid. Asking bids were devised by Alan Moorehead and developed by Ely Culbertson [1] and are an alternative to cuebids. Main article: Grand slam force. Once a trump suit has been agreed and the two hands are considered to be strong enough, partners bid the lowest available suit which they control; this process continues until one of the partners has sufficient information to make the contract decision.

  • Level 3 Convention Chart
    CONVENTION CHARTS Definitions A group of four numbers separated by equal signs (=) denotes an exact suit distribution. For example: 5=4=3=1 denotes five spades, four hearts, three diamonds, and one club. A group of four numbers separated by hyphens (-) denotes any of the exact distributions matching that general pattern. For example: 4-3-3-3 represents: 4=3=3=3 or 3=4=3=3 or 3=3=4=3 or 3=3=3=4. 1. “By Agreement”: Partnership understandings as to the methods adopted by a partnership that are reached explicitly by discussion or implicitly through the mutual experience or awareness of the players. This applies to all calls, allowed and disallowed. 2. “Natural”: a. Any opening bid, response, or overcall at the one-level that shows 4 or more cards in the suit bid. b. Any opening bid at the two-level or higher that shows 5 or more cards in the suit bid. c. Any response at the two-level or higher that shows 4 or more cards in the suit bid. d. Any suit overcall at any level that shows 4 or more cards in the suit bid. e. A 1C opening bid that shows 3 or more clubs. This opening may also include exactly 4=4=3=2 shape. f. A 1D opening bid, overcall, or response that shows 3 or more diamonds. g. A NT opening bid or overcall that contains no voids, no more than one singleton, which must be an ace, king, or queen, and that does not contain 10 or more cards in two suits combined.

  • Convention Charts Update Introduction
    Convention Charts Update 26 July 2017 Version 0.1 Introduction The convention chart subcommittee has produced four new convention charts in order from least to most permissive, the White Chart, Green Chart, Yellow Chart, and Red Chart. The White Chart and Green chart are intended for limited master point events and are expressed similarly to the old charts when a list of permitted methods. The Yellow Chart and Red Chart are intended for open events, and methods are generally allowed unless they are prohibited by the chart. In addition to the charts there is a comprehensive definitions section. Any word that is capitalized on the chart is defined there. Following the chart is an examples section for cases where the chart might be misinterpreted. It is intended that both the definitions and the examples be propagated with the charts. Chart Usage Tournaments Pair Events and non-KO Team Events White Chart - Any event where the upper limit per player is 750 or less Green Chart - Any event where the upper limit per player is 2500 or less Yellow Chart - Any Open event and any event with a masterpoint limit above 2500 at a Sectional, any Open 1-Session event at a Regional, any event with a masterpoint limit above 2500 at a Regional, and any NABC event with a masterpoint limit between 2501 and 5000. Red Chart - Any Open 2+-Session event at a Regional, any Open NABC event, and any NABC event with a masterpoint limit above 5000. Knockout Events A 1-bracket knockout always uses the Yellow Chart.
