There’s a point where any bridge player realizes that it’s time to take off their training wheels. It’s when they are a little beyond what beginner bridge boos have to teach.

A word of congratulations are in order, when you finally think that you’re ready for it.

If you are still at beginner or novice bridgeur level, that’s okay, and that’s a good reason to read some of your favourite books again (or schedule more future practice games).

How do you know that you’ve arrived at better bridge playing?

Advanced lessons, suddenly, make sense.

Here’s where to find 4 great advanced bridge lessons you should see.

1. RP Bridge: advanced lessons

If you’ve never heard of this online bridge celebrity, I would like to introduce you to the wonderful Richard Pavlicek. Once you have traction as an advanced bridge player, his site is a neverending wealth of bridge things.

Advanced lessons are at the link above, and include things like transfer bids and forcing strategies organized by the lesson.

But be careful: there’s so much to read on this site, you might never want to leave.

2. Four seasons bridge

Four Seasons Bridge is one of the world’s kindest clubs, and I say this because they were nice enough to upload some free bridge lessons for other players.

Advanced bridge lessons from Four Seasons can be found by clicking on the above links.

You’ll be better at bids and tricks in almost no time at all!

3. Kitty Cooper

Kitty Cooper is a long-time bridge teacher, and some BBO members might have joined her for a lesson (or even a game) before.

She also runs BridgeTeaching.com, and keeps a steady flow of paid and free resources going to her website.

Advanced lessons can be found at the above website link. Available for free, I’ve always found her teaching style to be easy-to-understand even in the face of difficult concepts.

4. Bridge Hands: Advanced

Bridge Hands is a website that lists hundreds upon hundreds of different hands, distributions, bids, and other useful bridge information.

Just as a reference site, you should bookmark it right now.

BridgeHands also offers lessons in the form of their Bridge Blog.

Posts are more inclined to cover advanced topics in this section of the site. Advanced bidding is covered in one of my favourite lessons, with examples.

Good luck!
