Defense is one of the most important and difficult parts of the game. In this series, Michael breaks down all of the components to strong defense.

Webinars are 1hr in duration with possible 30 min Q&A. All times are 2PM Eastern.

This series includes 5 weeks of Defensive Fundamentals with Michael Berkowitz.

Week 1 (June 19)- Opening Leads 

Make sure you start the defense on the right foot. Pay close attention to the bidding and also to everyone's play to this key trick. 

Week 2 (June 26)- The Missing Points

Figuring out what partner might have and what declarer is likely to have. Picturing the missing hands is key to good defense. 

Week 3 (July 3)- What is Dummy Good For? 

Figure out how declarer will try to use dummy and think about what you can do to prevent that from happening. 

Week 4 (July 10)- Signals: Attitude

Attitude is our most important signal and knowing when to give it (and when to look for it) is key to good defense

Week 5 (July 17)- Signals: Others

We don't always need attitude. Sometimes we'll be looking for other key components to partner's hand: suit preference and count.
