This week we turn our discussion to a common and important part of Defense -- Leads in Partner's Suit.  We will focus on the details of these specific situations.

This week we continue with our defense discussion but we turn our attention to listening to the auction and collecting information in general.   We'll combine this with the topics we've been discussing to help provide an overall view of what makes for excellent defense.

This week we continue our focus on Defense and look at some fundamentals of card combinations.  We discuss what we should lead from many different holdings (given no information from the auction.)  

The month we continue our defense discussion.   This week we focus on Partnership Defense Philosophies.  These are important generic understandings to have with partner about the way we defend a hand!

This week our focus is on Defensive Tools in the middle of the hand.   Our goal is to familiarize ourselves with the options available on a given hand and then learn to make good choices of how to attack the Declarer.  

This week our focus is on one of the large concepts of Defense.  Specifically, we discuss the level of aggression (active vs. passive defense) we should take on a hand.

Now that we have laid out some basic signaling agreements with partner, we want to focus on another important part of defensive communication - Discards.   Reading partner's discards and choosing our discards carefully are important parts of effective communication. 

This month we begin work on the hardest part of the game of bridge - Defense.   It seems like Defense should be easy (it is two of us against one Declarer.)  But unfortunately, working together with Partner is often a challenge.   We will explore some agreements and discussions that are important to have with Partner.
