- Opening a Bridge Club
- Great comments everyone. As to limited games and teaching my club will be based around 0-500 games. Yes I will have some open games but I may well have a limited game every single session we are open. Some days it will be 0-300, others might be 0-500, and even ...
- Opening a Bridge Club
- Steven, I have been teaching for 3 years. I have an email database, in Constant Contact, of over 500 local students and IN players interested in the club. I will have limited games almost every day. The bulk of the players for my club will be under 500 points and ...

- Fun World Pairs Round: Part 2
- Gavin, I find it interesting that you consider the redouble to be alertable when it shows a doubleton spade and a good hand. I think of that as the standard meaning. Whether most experts currently play it that way, well you are in a better position than me to know ...
- Bridge Winners Book Store Now Open
- Trying to pick one best bridge writer is very difficult. Different writers appeal to players of different levels. If I had to choose one writer whose books had the biggest impact on me as an advancing bridge player it would be Mike Lawrence. Although his writing can be very dry ...
