Introduction to Declarer Play 2nd Edition by Kantar
New players
Intermediate players
While our bidding language evolves and changes over the years, the basic principles of declarer play remain the same since even the whist days.
This course is based on the 2nd edition of a classic and easy-to-read short textbook Introduction to Declarer Play by Edwin Kantar, updated by Barbara Seagram.
The first half of the course will deal strictly with notrump hands, with trump contracts in the second half.
Part 1, Playing in Notrump
Sure tricks, establishing tricks
Taking tricks with spot cards, finessing
The hold-up play, and the danger hand
Part 2, Playing in a Suit Contract
The trump suit, counting losers
Creating extra winners, and long-suit establishment
