Bridge Basics Outline  

 

 

 

Welcome!

Bridge Basics Outline was originally created to assist a group of new Bridge players during the early stages of learning to play the game.   It replaced the lapful of notes which never seemed to provide an answer in a timely fashion when a question arose during play.  

This book proved to be an invaluable tool in helping us learn to bid properly while we were playing hands while also helping us to identify quickly where we made our mistakes.

Originally printed in 2005, this NEW version of
Bridge Basics Outline is lighter and less bulky.  It measures 4  3/4" x 6 1/2" and has 33 pages - printed on sturdy cardstock.  Three new pages have also been added: How Good is Your Overcall, Partner?, The Redouble and Splinter Bids.  The information is headed by a Table of Contents so that you can find the answer you are looking for at once.  Each page provides a brief overview of a topic with bulleted points of information or a table to help you find an answer quickly as opposed to having to read through several paragraphs of more detailed reference.  

The information found in
Bridge Basics Outline  is based primarily on notes taken during Bridge classes taught by Joanna Sarkisian, a Bridge teacher in the Hartford, CT area. 

 

Bridge Basics Outline
is a valuable reference for both new Bridge players as well as seasoned players who would like to incorporate the newer methods and conventions being taught today. 

 Review Bridge Basics Outline  prior to playing
to help refresh your memory about
newly learned conventions, point counts and responses.

 

"We use several books but this is always the one we reach for while playing"
V. Saltonstall, Chestnut Hill, MA

 

"Our group had multiple sheets of notebook size papers filled with bridge conventions. Everyone would be rifling through pages trying to find the 'right' sheet. Needless to say when I introduced your book everyone loved the simplicity, the size, the organization and the excellent content.  Your book is the only book we use!!!"
