Is Bridge confusing?

28/1/2017

So just when I think a bridge lesson is going smoothly, something comes along which is confusing to a beginner in a bridge text book! Here it is:

"Your partner leads A against 4" and a student in my class asks what this means. I was momentarily flummoxed but soon understood the problem and explained it like this:

When the suit symbol is first it means the card. So A means the Ace of Hearts. When the suit symbol is second, it means the contract. So 4 means the contract is 4 Spades.

Another lightbulb moment on the journey to learning bridge!

    About me.

    As well as being a Bridge Teacher I have been a Training Manager, an Air Stewardess, I have hiked down the Grand Canyon and held a live "carpet" python.
