SUMMARY:Declare and Defend
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nFrank Smoot\n(408) 306-3901‬\nSend Email \n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\nLearn to devise a good plan as the declarer (four sessions) and become a formidable defender (two sessions). You will handle various card combinations properly and select the best plan from the possible alternatives. Playing notrump usually involves a race to build tricks. As the declarer\, ward off danger as you execute your plan. Playing in a suit adds the possibility of trumping in dummy or in your hand. Master the best trumping techniques. As a defender\, get off to a good start by making an effective opening lead. How does suit defense differ from notrump defense? \nThis play-intensive course is for players who have a minimum of two years experience playing duplicate bridge. The emphasis is on powerful and practical bidding\, play (who has what) and defense concepts. We do exercises in class (homework outside of class) and finish the evening by playing deals related to the topic. Snacks are provided. \nYou will be amazed at what you will learn\, even if you’ve played for years and years! The in-class deals are available in downloadable format\, so you can play the hands at home and receive commentary on the bidding and play (requires Bridge Baron Software). \n\n\n\nOur course lecturer is the very popular Frank Smoot who has taught bridge to players of all levels in Palo Alto for 30+ years. Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment. \nFor more information contact Frank Smoot (408) 306-3901 email.\n \n\n\n\n\nThe 6-Week Course Covers\nBridge Baron Downloads\n\n\n\n\n\nDeclarer Play \n\nCard Combinations\nPlay the Odds\nPlay at Notrump\nPlay at Suits\n\n\n  \n\nCard Combinations\nPlay the Odds\nPlay at Notrump\nPlay at Suits (new on 4/1/25)\n\n\n\n\n\nDefense \n\nDefense at Notrumps\nDefense at Suits\n\n\n  \n\nDefense at Notrump\nDefense at Suits\n\n\n\n\n\nBridge Baron Support \nPurchase Bridge Baron (not Bridge Baron Gold):  BaronBarclay\nInstructions for downloading and playing files with Bridge Baron\nStudents:  Contact Alan Templeton or Frank Smoot for additional support.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nPayment\nAfter registering\, below\, you may pay by Zelle or check to hold your spot: \nZelle:  Transfer $200 to either franklinsalias-bridge@yahoo.com or (408) 306-3901. \nCheck:  Mail a check made out to Frank Smoot in the amount of $200: \n\nFrank Smoot\n15 Tagus Ct.\nPortola Valley\, CA 94028[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

You will add tools to overcome the competition and use the bidding to help your play of the hand. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed for players who understand the basics\, but are working on accurately assessing their hand strength to avoid overbidding or underbidding – players who are refining techniques like finesses\, setting up long suits and entry management. We will cherish mistakes in class and grow stronger from them. \n\n\n\nUsing materials from many sources (primarily Richard Pavlicek) you will learn powerful and practical bidding\, play and defense 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 will learn\, even if you have played for years and years! \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 30+ years.  Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment. \nFor more information contact Frank Smoot (408) 306-3901 email.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nThe 8-Week Course Covers\nBridge Baron Downloads\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeak Two Bids\nStrong Two-Club Opening\nBidding Judgment – Uncontested\nBidding Judgment – Contested\nCompeting and Sacrificing\nCombating Weak Openings\nThird Hand Defense\nSecond Hand Defense\n\n\n\n\nWeak Two\nStrong 2 Club\nBidding Judgment – Uncontested\nBidding Judgment – Contested\nCompeting and Sacrificing\nCombating Weak Openings\nThird Hand\nSecond Hand\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Bridge Baron Support \nPurchase:  BaronBarclay\nInstructions for downloading and playing files with Bridge Baron\nStudents:  For additional support contact Alan Templeton or Frank Smoot[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nPayment\nAfter registering\, below\, you may pay by Zelle or check to hold your spot: \nZelle:  Transfer $240 to either franklinsalias-bridge@yahoo.com or (408) 306-3901. \nCheck:  Mail a check made out to Frank Smoot in the amount of $240: \n\nFrank Smoot\n15 Tagus Ct.\nPortola Valley\, CA 94028[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
