Intermediate III

This course goes beyond the topics from Intermediate Bridge I and Intermediate Bridge II. It is designed for bridge players who have a minimum of two years experience playing duplicate bridge.

You will learn powerful and practical bidding, play and defense concept including:

• hand evaluation when partner invites slam, balancing, and the latest defenses to 1NT.
• Uuse of distribution of the defensive hands to produce extra tricks, and,
• Defending safely or aggessively as the dummy suggests.

There are exercises in class, homework outside of class, and each evening finishes by playing deals related 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!

The 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).

Our course lecturer is the very popular Frank Smoot who has taught bridge to beginners and beyond in Palo Alto for 15+ years.  Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment.
