    Here students learn how to Opening the Bidding .   The guidelines are essential for all beginner players learning this game for the 1st time (or students that never received any formal training).

    The Rule of 20 is a modern technique used to opening the bidding should you not have sufficient points.   Counting Losers in bridge is useful when you and your partner are trying to find the correct contract level (its a bit of a mathematical trick).    Both these 2 simple tips are a must when learning bridge .

    The opener needs to bid again (or not) after their partner has bid.  This is arguably the most important bid in bridge as it gives the partner an exact point count and description of the cards in hand.

Description

This 5 step course in part 1  provides you with the building blocks to help you journey your way into a world of problem solving and logically fun !   The material is new, fresh and very visual - allowing you to get a clear understanding of what it takes to become a bridge player.   Bridge is made up of 2 parts - the auction (where all players can bid) and playing (where the winners of the auction now play out the tricks they promised to make).   With a simple pack of 52 cards, we scramble our minds and center our attention to this brilliant game that requires logic and counting .   If you can count to 40 - you are almost there. If you cant count to 13 four times - your are going to be just fine !  Whether you would like to play social or club level bridge - these rules need to learnt before you start.   This course provides a wonderful platform to launch .   I would recommend watching the videos more than once, just incase you missed some of the information the first time you watch.   There is no better way to spend a rainy afternoon or an evening with friends .  Please don't give up , its really worth it .
