How Many Options On A 3 Combo Lock

Workshop November 19, 2010

Paul Chemla

Gabriel Chagas

Here are training No.6 for Friday, November 26. At the Workshop of 19 November we talked about the valuable tool that represents the Odd Pair. According to Alain Levy, the practice well understood by the odd pair solves 90% of problems flank. Make a habit of using it on each hand and pay attention to all the maps provided by the Partner. The account is a tool that helps us to reconstruct the distributions, in particular, that the Declarant. And, once the distribution is known that one can count the tricks of the Registrant and deduce the plan défense.Lisez the excellent article by Michel Bessis on the practice of Odd Pair . In the Power Point presentation of each workshop, you see many pictures of champions bridge. It seems important to know who are past masters in the practice of our game and learn with them what they want us to share their experiences.

Thus we saw the pictures of Gabriel Chagas , Bénédicte Cronier , Paul Chemla , Catherine d'Ovidio etc. You can learn more by visiting the great champions of TODAY 'hui or Missing , interviews with associates and the Top Ten of bridge players with different European and international rankings.

Justin Lall

Guillaume Lafon

I told you about Justin Lall (young American champion, junior world champion bridge player and now professional). He hosted an interesting and lively blog called Squeezing The Dummy, to share his experience, data analysis and advice to novice players. It does not have much time to spend today. Read example advice it provides to players wanting to improve. The article begins with this sentence "The most common question that people ask is: What can I do to get better at Bridge? ... The truth is that it requires a lot of work .. ....!" But of course it's worth it, because we love the bridge . All this is in English. Bridge players speak French fairly little about blogs and that's unfortunate. The Blogs Bridge foreigners are full of lessons. All these players, known or unknown bother to share their experiences and give and reading is instructive. Blog The only French I know and read regularly is that of William Lafon, a French player who got used to the time when he was still ranked third promotion to share experiences in each of its competitions. It's humorous and informative. Returning to our workshop. In one exercise we talked about forcing deadlocks and rules governing them. Here you will find a memo on subject (see page 3). We also addressed the changes in color or Not Forcing Forcing in response to an intervention by the No. 2 player and we have the opportunity to do some exercises on the subject.
Many of you ask my advice to find partners with the same aspirations as you. In the next workshop, I will circulate a list with names and emails and you contact each other.
I am glad that some have put their pictures on the right side of the blog under the title Followers . Feel free to write in this topic. And if you want to do your own blog (in three clicks It's free and easy) to share your photos or ideas go to Blogger.com soon.
