Sun, 05-Aug-2018 Yay, Chick is back!
The IAC welcomes Chick (Cornelia Yoder) for a season of excellent weekly bridge instruction. Chick is an expert player and teacher, as well as an artist, cartographer, and glider pilot. Her focus in this series of lessons will be “Visualizing the Cards Around the Table: What is the bidding saying or not saying?” And who doesn’t want to know what their opponents and partner hold before starting play?
Chick will be starting her sessions on September 11 and continuing every Tuesday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM ET. Audio (necessary) can be accessed on the following link: http://corneliayoder.radiostream123.com/ (Cornelia does NOT use BBO voice). Please check out Cornelia’s website
Sat, 21-Jul-2018 Lesson by Marc Smith
Marc Smith, winning bridge player, columnist, coach and writer of many bridge books; an experienced teacher of students from beginner to very experienced partnerships, and a bidding theorist and a member of the expert bidding panel for numerous magazines worldwide, was so kind to give us 2 great lessons on "Planning the Play".
Notes from both lessons are available in: this topic in IAC Forums. If you are not yet registered there, please do it now.
Tue, 03-Jul-2018 Dare to Practice
With mixed feedback on Monday's Practice of Angel Blue's lessons, and in support of loyal members and Arik's students, we introduce another slot -- Fridays, 1700UTC, 1pm edt, 7pm Paris. Results say we all ought practice more! Pls plan to join both Monday & Friday :)
These trnys award Monster points, but not for overall score. Only 4 boards declared by your side matter, if you made them all - u get 5MPs. If u made 3 of them you get 3 MPs; and if u made just 2, you'll get 1MP. For those that failed 3 or 4... come practice again! : )
Fri, 11-May-2018 Teachers' Summer breaks

Help on "Using the Site"
This is the front page of the IAC Site.

The Menu down the left-hand side will help you to navigate to other parts of the site. The front page displays an introduction, Latest News items and the Teaching / Tourney Schedule for the current week.

If you see \"Guest User\" in the top right-hand corner, that means you need to register on the site in order to be able to take full advantage of what it offers. Just click on Register underneath, provide your details. You need to be registered and logged on to use certain parts of the time.

Changing Time Settings
The way this site works, times should be displayed to you in your own local time. For this to work, we need to know your Time Zone and Daylight Savings settings. Times are stored on the site in GMT/UTC and if you do not specify these settings, that is what you will see. For times to be displayed in your local time, you also need to be registered on the site and logged into the Site.

BabelFish Yahoo Babelfish is an automatic translation facility which will translate this Site into a number of different languages. Please be aware, however, that Bridge has a fairly technical and non-standard vocabulary so some of the translation might seem a little weird. Also, since the whole of the page is translated (ie: including some of the programming code), some of the pages will not display properly and/or may not function properly if viewed in anything other than English.
