NOTE TO THE TEACHERS

When I teach bridge for the absolute beginner, I'll be using Bridge Basics 1, part of the Official Better Bridge Book Series. I hope you'll join me.

Bridge Basics 1 - An Introduction

• the students learn faster and better
• the material is up to date
• the students can feel comfortable playing in bridge clubs, golf clubs    at home or on the internet

For the teacher it comes with

WHAT'S STANDARD?

In this excellent series of articles David Lindop discusses what is meant by “standard” in reference to modern bidding methods. There are currently 22 articles covering topics that range from Opening the Bidding all the way to Slam Bidding and Fourth Suit Forcing. Presented on the Better Bridge Website in complimentary PDF form for teachers and students everywhere.

FILLING OUT THE CONVENTION CARD

When you and your partner sit down to play in a club or tournament game, you’re expected to fill out a convention card listing all the bidding and defensive carding agreements of the partnership. David Lindop walks you through the process in this excellent series. Presented on the Better Bridge Website in complimentary PDF form for teachers and students everywhere.

"Due to the fine work David does each month with his detailed examples on how to fill out the convention card, I not only understand how to fill out my card, I learn about the specifics of the conventions in a way no other information source has shown me. I tip my hat to David and look forward to future articles on this subject." Don Hemlericks

David Lindop follows the approach in Audrey Grant’s new series on bridge basics, Bridge Basics I and Bridge Basics II. These methods have been reviewed by an advisory panel of experts and represent what the majority of teachers are likely to be presenting to students.

Many more articles are published every two months in Audrey and David's magazine, Better Bridge. A great resource for teachers! Choose 'PRODUCTS' from the menu at top of this page.
