SUMMARY:Essential Conventions
DESCRIPTION:Frank Smoot\n(408) 732-5736\nSend Email \n\n\n\n\nStrengthen your bidding with essential conventions. You will understand and use twelve popular conventions. These conventions are useful\, easy-to-remember and fun to play. This course includes discussion of the weekly topic\, in-class exercises\, lots of practice deals and homework. \nThis course is designed for bridge players who have a minimum of one year of experience playing duplicate bridge. \nUsing materials from many sources you will learn concepts\, do exercises in class (homework outside of class) and finish the evening by playing hands relating to the topic. Snacks are also provided. You will be amazed at what you’ll learn\, even if you’ve played for years and years! \n\n\nThe in-class exercises are available in electronic format so students can play the hands at home and receive commentary on their bidding and play (requires Bridge Baron software). \nOur course lecturer is the very popular Frank Smoot who has taught bridge to beginners and beyond in Palo Alto for almost 20 years. Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment. \nPlease contact Frank Smoot for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis 8-Week Course Covers\n\n\n\nBidding: \n\nJacoby & Texas Transfers\nJacoby 2NT & 1430 RKC Blackwood\nSplinters\nInverted Minor Suit Raises\nNew Minor Forcing and Fourth Suit Forcing\nDrury\nTwo Suited Overcalls\nResponsive Doubles & Truscott 2N\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClass Downloads**\n\n\nLesson 1\nTransfers\n\n\nLesson 2\nJacoby 2NT\n\n\nLesson 3\nSplinters\n\n\nLesson 4\nInverted Minors\n\n\nLesson 5\nForcing Enquiries\n\n\nLesson 6\nDrury\n\n\nLesson 7\nTwo Suits New on 8/9/18\n\n\nLesson 8\nResp.
