We’ve all learned lots of bridge “rules”: third-hand high, fourth from your longest and strongest, new suit by responder is forcing, etc. Unfortunately, there are no hard-and-fast rules in bridge, and each of these rules has exceptions. We’re going to look at some of the most common “rules” and their exceptions.
Whether playing at the club or online, you'll notice some players who consistently do a bit better than everyone else in the results. What do these players know that is helping them excel so consistently? When we play duplicate bridge, a better understanding of how our results will be compared to others' can give us clarity while bidding.
Bridge is all about communication. It's one of the things that makes it such a great game. Communication comes into every aspect of bridge. The bidding, the play and the defence.

All you need is the ability to follow instructions and some basic general knowledge. Squeezes are the same way. We don't need seven-tier wedding cake skills; we need to be able to buy a box of cake mix and follow the directions.
