The following recently developed eight topics can be used by teacher and pupil alike. I use these lessons successfully when I teach. There is enough material in each lesson that the teacher will have example hands for anywhere between two to four class periods. Each lesson has an introduction and the example hands are set up so that South is not always declarer, making the teacher's job a 'bit' easier. I have tried to even up the number of hands played in each direction. Each hand includes bidding, play and defensive commentary.

How to Use the Bidding to Guide You in the Play and Defense

How to Figure Out the Missing Cards in the Closed Hands — Who's Got What?
This lesson shows how the opening leader can often figure out what partner and declarer have from just from seeing their play to the first trick. This refers to knowing every missing card in the suit from the play of just one trick! It's magic once you get the knack.

How the Type of Dummy Guides Your Defense

How to Play the Contract as Safely as Possible, Being Aware of What Can Go Wrong (And doing something about It, particularly when the contract looks good — almost too good to be true)
A strong declarer must realize there are times to risk a contract for overtricks and there are times where just making the contract is the bottom line. This lesson gives you the ins and outs of both approaches. It also brings up the topic of Safety Plays. [21 pages, 20 example hands]

Card Combinations to Be Familiar With
It is almost impossible for a player who is familiar with the common card combinations to be a losing player. This lesson deals with many of these combinations that you really should know. The topic is also covered in Lesson 27 in Kantar Lesson Book II, but many more example hands here. [

Bidding and Lead Inferences that the Declarer Can Make
This lesson shows you how, as declarer, you can use their bidding, (what they bid and what they don't bid), and their leads, (what they lead and what they don't lead), to get a handle on their hands and at times play as if using mirrors. [11 pages, 5 example hands]
