A growing library of bridge videos — from your very first opening bid to the kind of hand you'll want to tell partner about on the way home. Same Lorna you'd get at the table, only you can pause her, rewind, and watch in your slippers.
What a two-level overcall really asks for, and when to pass instead. Part 1 covers the requirements: an opening hand or close to it, a good five-card suit, and the balanced hands to leave alone however good the point count looks. Part 2 works through the hands that qualify, and ends on the balancing seat as a second chance to compete.
Bridge from the very beginning, with nothing assumed. Lorna takes the first-time player one small step at a time — from the cards in the deck to your first hands at the table — explaining every term as it comes up. No maths, no jargon, just a friendly, unhurried start that grows with you as the series goes on.
Defence is Lorna's favourite part of the game, and it starts with one of bridge's best-known sayings: second hand low. When declarer leads toward dummy, the defender in second seat plays small, keeping their honours back to capture declarer's. Part 1 builds the two core principles — play low, and cover an honour with an honour. Part 2 works through the exceptions: when covering sets up nothing for your side, how to split touching honours to promote a trick, the tricky ace-queen-third holding, and the student questions these spots always raise.
Defence is Lorna's favourite part of the game, and third hand play is where a good partnership comes alive. Part 1 builds the core idea: third hand high, and its refinement, "as high as necessary." There's much more to come in Part 2.
