SAIL of Melbourne, Inc

Experienced players certainly know how to play bridge, but few actually know how to "think" bridge like an expert. Topics will include: (1) Is bridge won or lost? (2) How do we develop a successful partnership?  (3) How many conventions do we really need, and which ones?  (4) Developing and applying bidding judgment. (5) What to think about during actual play. (6) Suggestions for personal improvement. An optional second hour will be offered to accommodate participants' requests for discussion of specific topics or interesting deals. Your instructor is Rabbi Richard Margolis who won his first Regional tournament 62 years ago and has won them in every decade since. Playing as a professional, he also has numerous high finishes in National events. He won the yearly Master Solvers Club bidding contest, with thousands of entrants, twice in a row, and he continues his relationship with The Bridge World magazine by reviewing new bridge books and materials. NOTE: THIS COURSE IS FOR ADVANCED BRIDGE PLAYERS ONLY.
