I'm offering a special four-session two-week class this month on a subject most of us need help with, a series focused on play with excellent bidding refreshers, and new beginning bridge classes soon.

All classes are offered online from the comfort and safety of your own home. You'll want to have a good broadband internet connection with a Windows or Mac laptop or desktop computer. (While it's possible to join with an iPad only, it's not recommended.) These are not "seminars" but fully interactive classes where you will play real bridge with other students!

Improving Your Judgment — Doubles

I'm offering this four-session interactive class to focus on a subject many of us need extra help with. We'll cover doubles in all sorts of competitive bidding contexts, and practice them in live hands. Here's a good opportunity to refine your judgment both as the doubler and as the advancer (doubler's partner).

• Four sessions, Monday and Wednesday, 3:00-4:30 p.m.
• November 16, 18, 23, and 25
• Course fee $80, plus $10 for the textbook.
• Class size limited to 16 students

Back-to-Bridge Seminar Series

This is a special offering through Bridge with the Monroes on Tuesdays starting November 10. Our text is Play of the Hand from the ACBL Bridge Series.

We'll start with a special two-session day on Tuesday, November 10, getting into the fundamentals of declarer play and brushing up our opening bids and responses.

On the following Tuesdays we'll get deeper into declarer play with finer points and more difficult hands. We'll also add bidding principles for competitive bidding, conventions over notrump bids, strong hands, and slam bidding.

Space for this class is very limited! Enroll through Bridge with the Monroes at this link for their new player program. A flier with course details an information is available at this link (PDF).

I'm also offering ongoing beginning bridge classes each month on Monday and Wednesday afternoons through Bridge with the Monroes. If you have a friend who'd like to learn to play bridge, starting from zero, drop me a note!

Newcomer duplicate bridge games

We're having a great time on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons! We're playing about 90 minutes of bridge, 12 hands, at each session.

Our games are held on Bridge Base Online at 7:15 on Wednesday, and 12:20 on Saturday.

Would you like to join in? Need a partner? I have all the information about these games and what you need on my web site here: https://bridgemojo.com/newcomer-invitation

Finally, please let me know if you're not interested in getting my occasional announcements! I never share my email lists, and I'm happy to take you off the BridgeMojo list if you wish.

And I did finally get a haircut. But I'm keeping it a lot longer than my headshot picture. :)
