Defenders

Defense is the hardest part of Bridge. Here's somewhere to get started

• Leading / Opening
  • https://kwbridge.com/leads.htm
  • https://pi.math.cornell.edu/~belk/Leads.htm
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opening_lead
• Defensive signals (responses)
  • Attitude: partner leads: high (encourage) / low (discourage)
  • Count: attacker leads: High-low (even) / low-high (odd)
  • Suit: when opening a hand, if bad suit, high = higher suit, low = lower suit
