Learn To Play Bridge Part 1

 

This computerised learning program has kindly been provided by the American Contract Bridge League. The program was written by Fred Gitelman with software by BridgeBase, Inc

It is possible to learn Bridge in 5 minutes or so, but that would involve learning only the rules of the game. You would not be a very good Bridge player at the end of those 5 minutes.

 

This program will not only teach you the rules of Bridge, it will also teach you to be a pretty good player.

 

It will take you several hours, however, to go through all the material and exercises in this program. There is a section in the Appendix of this program that will teach you just the rules of the game, should you be short of time when you first use the program.

 

The program is very easy to use so enjoy your first lesson in Bridge.

 

Learn To Play Bridge Part 2

 

This computerised learning program has kindly been provided by the American Contract Bridge League. The program was written by Fred Gitelman with software by BridgeBase, In.

 

This program is the sequel to Learn To Play Bridge Part 1.

 

In order to benefit from this program it is important that you have a sound grasp of the basics of playing Bridge. If you do not know how to play Bridge or if you have not played the game in many years, it is strongly that you go through Learn To Play Bridge Part 1 before you start using this one.
