Online bridge courses
As promised, I've put together a slate of three online bridge courses
for September and October.
Learning online can seriously advance your skills — often more
effectively than in-person classes. With the tools I have at hand, you
are better able to visualize and take advantage of card play and positions.
If you're thinking about getting back into the game, or want to build on
your understanding of Standard American bidding, try the Bridge Basics
Refresh course!
If you're playing duplicate games in the club or online, the tools in
the Competitive Bidding course can seriously improve your results.
If you've been playing Standard American for a while, think about taking
the next step. 2 over 1 Game Force is the bidding system based on 5-card
majors that's most popular with experienced players.
Bridge Basics Refresh
Let's back up to the basics of the constructive auction using the
/Standard American 5-card Major /bidding system. We'll cover notrump,
major suit, and minor suit openings and responses, and we'll revisit the
Stayman and Jacoby Transfer Bid conventions.
Monday evenings, 6:30 p.m., starting September 13.
Competitive Bidding
This course is especially valuable if you're playing duplicate bridge in
the clubs or online. Here you'll acquire tools for competing in the
auction when the opponents have opened the bidding. Remember — the
object of the game is to get the best score, not make contracts!
Tuesday evenings, 6:30 p.m., starting September 14.
2 over 1 Game Force
2/1GF is the most popular and successful bidding system used by
experienced players in clubs and tournament play. By making one small
tweak to your familiar 5-card major system, you will gain an advantage
in finding slams and your best game contracts.
Sunday afternoons, 4:00 p.m., starting September 19.

In-person and online bridge
It's been a weird up-and-down year, but I have my first in-person bridge
classes on the calendar, and possibly four cruises in 2022.
I'm also putting together a schedule for online classes both for
beginners and advancing players. Let me know
<https://bridgemojo.com/contact> what you'd like to attend!
And there's some cool personal news at the bottom. :)
Panama Canal cruise from San Diego
I'm planning to join Karol and Guy Monroe for a luxury cruise from San
Diego to Miami, through the Panama Canal, for 16 nights (!) departing
January 19, 2022. The bridge program has a Sectional Tournament
sanction, with great bridge games and lessons on sea days.
This is a great way to get away, enjoy some focused bridge time, and
earn some *silver points* toward your Life Master award! I'll be there
directing games and helping out with bridge classes.
Visit here to learn more about the cruise
<https://www.monroetravelconnect.com/2022-panama-canal.html> and the
bridge program.
While you're there, check out the Spring cruise to Barcelona
<https://www.monroetravelconnect.com/2022-miami-barcelona.html> and Fall
LA Round Trip <https://www.monroetravelconnect.com/2022-la-roundtrip.html>.
Learn to play bridge in person
On Wednesday evenings starting September 15, I'll be offering *Bridge -
Introduction*, through PCC Extension. Classes will meet at Arcadia High
School.
Back-to-back with BB1, I'll offer *Bridge - Popular Conventions*, on the
same schedule, starting October 20.
Read all about the courses on my web site: Fall 2021 Learn to play
in-person <https://bridgemojo.com/node/73>.
Add to your bridge skills online
I have lots of time slots to add additional online classes, using all
the great tech I have available for teaching bridge. Drop me a note and
let me know what classes would interest you!
Here are some suggested classes that I could schedule:
* 2 over 1 Game Forcing
* Improving Your Judgment - Doubles
* Improving Your Judgment - Opening the Bidding
* Competitive Bidding
* Play of the Hand
* Defense
I'll send another note in the next few weeks with information about
continuing bridge classes and events for this fall. (Unit 556 is working
with me for an ongoing bridge class for their members.)
Congratulations to me
This month I interviewed for the prestigious *Master Teacher*
designation awarded by the American Bridge Teachers Association
<https://abtahome.com/>, and managed to earn the title!
I've also agreed to join their officers as Recording Secretary.
