Have your heard the term "declarer's advantage"? It refers to the fact that declarer gets to see his partner's hand as well as his own.
Does that mean the defenders are at a disadvantage? Yes -- which makes it even more crucial that you understand defensive principles. And that's what we're here to teach you with our four-week series on defense! We will cover the following topics:
-- Active versus passive opening leads
-- Which suits are safe to attack and which are dangerous
-- When to "tap" declarer (i.e. force her to trump)
-- How to decide what to keep when declarer is running winners
-- How to signal attitude, count, and suit preference to your partner, and how to interpret her signals
-- And more!
Join the Bridge Professors Giorgia Botta, Christopher Rivera, and John Ramos for this intensive four-week series to get a "defender's advantage"! Each two-hour lesson will consist of roughly 45 minutes of lecture (via Zoom) and the rest practice hands (via Shark Bridge)

We've all been there. You bid a contract and make it -- but you get a bad score because most other people made an overtrick. It's frustrating -- but it's good motivation to improve your declarer play.
