I am excited to offer online bridge classes this summer. My classes are not lectures. I give an engaging explanation
of the day's topic via Zoom, but then you will play hands in the amazing Shark Bridge classroom to practice what
you're learning. Afterwards, you see all four hands as I replay each deal to demonstrate the correct techniques.

As advancing players, you play often at the bridge club or in online games where the scoring is matchpoints. Here, overtricks, no-trump contracts, penalty doubles, sacrifices, and defensive accuracy are vital.

where you must make bidding, playing, and defensive decisions to maximize your score. I’m excited to have Zach back as co-teacher to share his many expert tips on winning at matchpoints!
