BRAND NEW LESSON BY BARBARA
AVAILABLE NOW!
Clues: Become A Deadly Declarer
- What did they Bid?
- What did they lead?
- What did they play?
- What do they have?
This is the lesson that I gave in person on Oct 13 this fall. But it is now recorded as an onscreen presentation as many of you asked me to do. In person, we could only manage six hands, here we will do 14 hands!!!
If I do a Zoom live class, we can manage 9 hands usually so you are getting maximum value for a recorded lesson such as this.
You can watch part of it and then take a day or two off or an hour or two. Then you can return to the recording and it will pick up where you left off. All in the comfort of your own home!
To purchase this, click on links below: You will then be sent a link to the recording and the full set of notes that goes with this. This is being done through my online store. The recording will not be on your account but it will be available at all times through the link you will be sent. AND if you lose it, I will send it again, very quickly. Just ask.
Cost is $25.00. It is 2 hrs and 18 minutes.

was an enormous help.

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this new book. SO much work has gone into it. This is the preface:
When I first began to learn this wonderful game of ours, it was explained to me by my teachers that the key to successful bridge is not being more brilliant than your opponents. In the long run, you will win more games by making fewer errors than they do. If you and your partner are communicating effectively (making bids that state your shape and values accurately) then your partnership will reach the right contract (and, even better, keep your opponents from theirs) more often.
Time and time again, in my bridge career, I have found this advice to be proved only too true. But how do you make sure your bidding is up to scratch?
The answer is easy:
1. You buy this book, and
2. You do the quizzes
And, because you are serious about your bridge, you score 100% (well done!)
And then...and this is the important part... you make sure partner does the quizzes as well. (I would suggest buying partner another copy of this book because I know you will not want to risk losing this one!)
You may have to work with partner until partner does as well as you. But, I promise, this journey will be worthwhile.
All kidding aside, I've written this book so you have a fun way of finding out how much of modern bridge bidding fundamentals you have mastered. It is also a tool that will help you identify and improve any areas of your game that may need some work. I suspect (and am hoping) you will want to share this with your regular partner.
There is some similarity to some of the Covid quizzes but these have all been completely revised, and reworked. The answers are far more comprehensive and this is now such a great learning tool.
I urge you not to write the answers in the book but to use a scrap of paper because you will want to return to the book time and time again to see how much your bridge has improved.
2 Ways to ORDER Comment from a recent purchaser...
Hi Barbara
I was visiting Toronto for a grandchild's wedding. My children then drove me around to show me where i might like to live when i move there in April.
Actually I thought I should live with you and after 6 months of intensive instruction i would emerge as the 'white swan' of bridge.
I don't remember the flight on Air Canada to and from Wpg. to Toronto and return because i took your new Barbara's Quizzes with me. I started the first page as we were taking off and suddenly I was in Toronto. By the way i also learned a lot. The quizzes were really fun to do and then test myself.
Barbara, you make everything sound so easy and so logical.
All the best and thanks for the Quizzes. xxNora Order by emailing Barbara

 BARBARA'S NEWEST BOOK (# 36) IS NOW OUT
PLAY IT SAFE
Playing party bridge or teams, declarer's objective is to make his/her contract -- nothing else matters. Playing it safe is of vital importance.
Yet playing safe can take many forms -- it might involve simply choosing the best line of play, or keeping one opponent off lead, preserving entries, or even giving up a trick you don't have to lose, all in the cause of bringing that contract home securely.
Playing matchpoints (regular duplicate bridge), there are times when safety is more important than anything else.
Recognizing all these situations, and knowing what to do when you encounter them, will improve your bridge scores by leaps and bounds.
Retail: $25.00 On special: $22.00 CAD.
$20.00 USD Postage extra.
