A Tool for Practicing Bridge

To learn the game of bridge, you need to play and practice. For many years I have practiced using the products from Vu-Bridge, an extensive set of lessons with hands to play and quizzes to test your knowledge. Their original product, V-Blue Newsletters, is unlike any other set of lessons I have seen. 

 

To me, the most important aspect of learning bridge is to learn how to think at the table. When you work through a set of hands in V-Blue, your online mentor is at your side pointing out what to pay attention to. Learning hand evaluation skills is integral to the lessons. Early on I learned the importance of shape, the placement of honors and more.

​

Although Vu-Bridge controls the play of each card (this is not a bad thing), you can still test yourself by having the mentor go away. My favorite scenario is when I am trying to understand where the cards lie or how many cards the defenders still have. I can verify how good my logic or counting is by showing the remaining cards in all four hands any time during the play.

​

Not everything is perfect unfortunately. The user interface, especially the navigation, is dreadful. I have put together a tutorial for playing a hand.  It can be found on the Vu-Bridge page.

It's about time! A Two-over-One class is scheduled starting Wednesday morning, June 11. We expect the class to be popular, so please enroll early. Tom May is the instructor. Tom is an expert player and has been a popular mentor for years.

​

The class is based on the book, 2 over 1 Game Force by Audrey Grant and Eric Rodwell. The book will be available for purchase from the instructor at a discount. You will learn how to bid in a two-over-one auction and how your bidding changes in other situations. Since slams are easier to find, slam bidding will also be covered. See the flyer for more information.
