Lesson Hands

These articles are from actual hands, mostly played at our club. I will do my best to put in new hands from time to time and I will be attempting to keep the material for the most part at the beginner/intermediate level. I will make a point of not embarassing anyone by pointing out a bad play made by anyone except myself (by the way, I was declarer on Hand #1). If you have any suggestions, comments or hands you'd like to see here I'd be happy to hear from you.

Bridge Puzzles

I take no credit for these puzzles (although the analysis on the solutions is mine), I have blatantly ripped them off from other sources. They aren't really puzzles, they're really various end positions and studying them carefully can do wonders for your declarer play. Be careful, some of them are harder than they look. The first seventeen puzzles now have solutions included. For the others, feel free to send me your answers by e-mail for verification.
