The example hand I have chosen is the first hand from the program, illustrating the various messages that the defenders can give each other with the cards that they play.  You may be surprised at how much information the defenders can legally give to each other!

Remember these are only screen shots so you won't be able to use the buttons at the bottom of the screen. 

In the program itself you use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to go forward and back and to answer the questions as they are presented, to see how much you have observed and recalled about the play and to check whether you are making the right decisions!

Defence is often the weakest skill of many bridge learners (and also many experienced players!) On average you are defending 50% of the time you play bridge therefore if you can improve this area of your game it will immediately improve your results!

Mike Lawrence is a leading American* bridge writer and teacher.  This software is not for complete beginners, but is excellent material for improvers through to club players.  The program takes you through over 100 set hands and presents you with a series of questions on things you should be thinking about and should have noticed and provides over-the-shoulder advice  like having your own private teacher! 

It also has a whole section on the common mistakes that defenders make over and over again.  Avoid these mistakes and you will have already improved your game!
