Just Beyond Beginner Bridge Series 2:  Controls, alternative game forcing bids and higher levels of 1430 Blackwood

In series 2, you will learn control bids. We discuss alternative game forcing bids to 2 over 1. Then we work on more slam bidding.

You must also learn control bids in order to protect against inappropriate slam bids. There are several alternatives to 2 over 1 that should be in your bidding arsenal. Sometimes 2 over 1 is not the best option.  Other game forcing bidding techniques will all be explained in great detail in  “Just Beyond Beginner Bridge series 2.”  You will be introduced to new topics to bring your game to a higher level, and you will  practice bidding and playing hands with the new techniques you’ve learned.  

The JBBB series is taught in 6 week increments. Often a class builds on previous ones. Don’t worry if you miss a session. You will be provided with good quality recordings, hands and class notes (given in advance) so you will never fall behind.

What's included?

* Six 2-hour classes at the Club's pristine new midtown NYC location.

* Two 2-hour online practice sessions.

* Access to recordings of all the classes.

* Class notes for every session.

When JBBB 2 is completed, the class will transition to JBBB 3 and JBBB 4 which focus entirely on improving your declarer play skills.  

The cost is $535 when paid by check or cash. $565 for credit cards.
