“Bridge is such a sensational game that I wouldn’t mind being in jail if I had three cellmates
who were decent players 
and who were willing to keep the game going 24 hours a day.”
- Warren Buffett

Expert Online Lessons from Richard Finberg

I am resuming giving free lessons on Zoom once per month. The first will be this Monday Sept. 16 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Future free lessons will be on the first Monday of each month, beginning Monday, Oct. 7 at 3:30 p.m.

The lessons will be geared to intermediate/advanced students, but I will include useful advice of interest to all levels of players. Bidding (basic), play and defense will all be discussed.

The new Zoom link is:
