Defensive Lessons

Very little of the material presented below is original. Nearly all of it has been heavily lifted from other sources, most notably DEFENSIVE BRIDGE PLAY COMPLETE by Edwin B. Kantar. This material is reprinted without the author's permission - and although I've done a reasonable job of highlighting the main points, the lessons are nowhere near as comprehensive as the source manual. If you do not own this book (or the two volumes which now replace this out-of-print text) your bridge library is incomplete. I offer these lessons in the hope that you will recognize the benefits of patronizing Mr. Kantar and his exceptional teaching style. If you see something for sale from this author - just buy it!!
