RPEYC Bridge Course - Introduction to Conventions

 

The most important ingredient to success at bridge is logic and concentration, but sometimes you need to ask partner special questions in the bidding.

The way to do this is through ‘conventions”. These are bids which don’t mean exactly what they sound like, but are “code” for asking what you need to know. 

So, you (and partner) need to learn a few of these, and know when and why to use them. 

You don’t need many conventions, but you need the “big 4”, and that’s what I’ll be covering in these lessons.  

The lessons are multi level, meaning that players of any level past the absolute basics will gain from them.
