Thanks to everyone for supporting our newest IAC teacher Dan Oakes. Dan started his series "Case for the Defense" today in the IAC and will continue into the future as long as he has something to teach that members are happy learning. Due to the varied skill level of our members, Dan started out easy but I am sure there will be something to learn for any level of play during his lessons. Lessons will be 60 minutes with lots of time for questions afterwards.
Takeaway points for today (Class 1):
1. An attitude signal isn't fundamentally about confirming or denying particular cards; it's about answer the question: "From your point of view, does it look like I should play this suit again, or do something else?"
2. If the attitude signal is discouraging, it's up to partner figure out what the "something else" is.
3. Typically, at suit contracts, the switch (following a discouraging signal) will be to declarer's shorter remaining side suit.
4. If, following the trick, the signaller's attitude will be apparent or irrelevant, then signaller's first card can be a count signal (the final example hand, where declarer was able to win trick 1 with the 9 or 10. Opening leader will never be confused that a high card showed interest, so East could afford to play a high card to show an even number (Playing standard signals, low card = odd number of cards in the suit; high card = even number).
5. These "rules" have exceptions! (Ain't that grand?)

Hi Babs. Sorry to trouble you, but -
1. I don't have a recording of Dan's lesson of the 25th February and can't find it online.
2. I got mixed up with the hour change last Friday, the 18th March and missed the lesson. Again, I can't find the recording.
Can you possibly help? Thanks very much.
Mike (M i k e 10)

Hope that helps!
Cheers

Thanks very much for your reply, Babs. I had tried that link - and again today - but without finding the ones I was after :'( . Probably my fault. There must be something I should have clicked on within the link. I did click on the arrow at the end of the first row of hands, but didn't see either of the 2 lessons on the first page or the second page. Not to worry.
Kind regards.
Mike

Ah - just checked back on my calendar as it seemed strange the links were missing. :o
Dan did not give a lesson on Feb 25 (on vacation) nor on Mar 18 (was sick and had to cancel last minute). So your eyes did not deceive you nor did you do anything wrong.
Thank heavens the time is back to "normal" this week! Looking forward to seeing you at class! ;D
