Third Hand Play

Third hand high — as high as necessary.

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.

Bridge From Scratch

Right from the very, very start.

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.

Second Hand Low

Play low — and cover an honour with an honour.

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.
