02:09:31	Lynn Chapin:	Here are the lesson hands.  Please download :)
02:12:50	Lynn Chapin:	LEAD from the top
RECEIVE from the bottom
02:14:59	Lynn Chapin:	THIRD HAND HIGH 10D
02:20:17	Lynn Chapin:	South must play the J♦️, the lowest of touching 
honors, (NOT the Q♦️!)
02:20:42	Lynn Chapin:	If South mistakenly plays the Q♦️, North will think that West has the J♦️.
02:22:08	Lynn Chapin:	If North cashes the K♦️ next, West will be able to go to dummy and pitch ♥️s on good ♣️s.

North knows that South holds Q♦️
02:22:19	Lynn Chapin:	So North should play a small ♦️ to reach 
partner. South catches on, makes the obvious shift to the J♥️, and sets the contract.
02:24:06	Lynn Chapin:	Remember we lead from the top and receive from the bottom!! If you play the lowest of equals, partner will know you have everything in between.
02:25:20	Lynn Chapin:	EAST is the DUMMY... there are no heart honors in dummy.... so South, please now lead a heart through declarer's hand... into my A-Q :)
02:26:06	Lynn Chapin:	If North cashes the K♦️ next, though, West will be able to go to dummy and pitch ♥️s on good ♣️s.
02:27:04	Lynn Chapin:	Cheaper of Equals: Play the lower of touching (equal) cards. Remember we lead from the top and receive from the bottom!! If you play the lowest of equals, partner will know you have everything in between. Partners need to work together!
02:28:24	Lynn Chapin:	Download the lesson hands :)
02:30:39	Lynn Chapin:	"double negative" or "2nd negative" keeps the auction open so that the strong opener can continue to describe the gorgeous hand.
02:30:46	Lynn Chapin:	It is a bid of the cheapest minor.  And completely artificial.
02:32:01	Lynn Chapin:	Planning this hand, from South's position this looks like almost 10 tricks in South's own hand!
02:32:46	Lynn Chapin:	3rd hand HIGH... ;)
02:33:15	Lynn Chapin:	South bid 3 ♥️, and East has very strong ♥️s. 
South surely plans to ruff ♥️ losers in dummy, but what if their aren't any trumps left to do the ruffing?
02:34:24	Lynn Chapin:	East wins the A♦️ and returns a trump.

West wins A♠️ and, trusting partner, plays another ♠️.  South now has no way to get rid of the 2 ♥️ losers... and the contract will fail.
02:41:54	Lynn Chapin:	Transferring to a minor must be 6 pieces.
02:48:33	Lynn Chapin:	Linda, could you please go over board #2?
02:50:09	Lynn Chapin:	DEFENDING IS LOTS OF FUN!  It's like a puzzle, and when you can figure out the solution, there's nothing more gratifying. 🧡💛💚
02:50:51	Lynn Chapin:	CUEBIDDING the opponents' suit, 2C, shows a limit raise or better for partner's suit.
