No more national competitive bridge this season – next up will be Ballina Congress on BBO on 8-10 July – but for those of you wanting to brush up your skills in the meantime, Peter Pigot is offering a seminar for advanced players on Monday 20 June at 2 p.m. The topic is “Expert Hand Evaluation”, and the seminar, which will take place on Zoom and RealBridge, will consider the following issues:
- HCP – the pro’s and con’s when evaluating
- Long suits
- Positioning
- Shape
- Judging in support
- Play or defend situations
- Opening bids, pre-empt or constructive
- Positional openings
- PASS!
- Clusters, short suits, where are the high cards?
- Breaking the rules!
The seminar costs €30. Contact Peter on 086-8146230 or by email to sign up
