00:24:33	Lynn Chapin:	4-4-3-2 ← balanced
                                5-3-3-2 ← balanced
                                4-2-3-3 ← balanced
00:24:59	Lynn Chapin:	Tonight's lesson hands :)
00:27:32	Lynn Chapin:	Rule of 11 works only when the lead was EXACTLY the fourth best card.
00:28:48	Lynn Chapin:	3rd hand high doesn't necessarily mean the HIGHEST.  Only as high as necessary!
00:30:02	Lynn Chapin:	When they play the right defense, often declarer is helpless to make the contract.
                                So, especially in a defense lesson, declarer will go down a lot :)
00:31:44	Lynn Chapin:	Every time a responder bids a new suit, it's 100% forcing.
                                If the other side passes, opener must find another bid.
00:32:08	Joane Auger:	What about partner's bid artificial 2Nt
00:33:15	Lynn Chapin:	Jacoby 2NT shows 12+ points and at least 4 pieces in opener's suit.  
                                It is artificial and forcing.  There are many other steps to this system :)
00:33:40	Lynn Chapin:	(Jacoby 2NT is for majors only.)
00:35:34	Lynn Chapin:	When the 10S is lead, and dummy plays low, you don't have to put up the Jack, 
                                because partner's 10 is already there.  Keep the A over the Q.  

                               If declarer owns both the K and the Q, declarer is entitled to win one of them.
                               If you put up the ACE here, you will give them both the K and the Q - an undeserved trick.
00:37:35	Lynn Chapin:	One EXCEPTION to 3rd hand high -- you only need to play as high as necessary.
00:40:46	Lynn Chapin:	1x - 1y 
                                1NT rebid = 12-14 HCP balanced 
                                (with 15-17, you'd open 1NT)

                                1x - 1y
                                2NT rebid = 18 or 19 HCP balanced

                                With 20-21 balanced, open 2NT
                                With 22-24 balanced, open 2C first, rebid 2NT
                                With 25-27 balanced, open 2C first, rebid 3NT
                                🤓
00:48:44	Lynn Chapin:	NEGATIVE DOUBLE in this seat -- if you bid 1S, it would promise at least 5 pieces.
                                Bidding the negative double shows exactly 4 spades.
00:53:19	Lynn Chapin:	If they lead KS against 3NT, they will take 2 spade tricks and at least the AH.
00:54:04	Lynn Chapin:	Correct!  If you lead the KS, the 3NT hand will not make.
00:55:59	Lynn Chapin:	You count that 5 card diamond suit to a A-K-Q; 
                                it has a good chance of being 5 tricks all by itself :)
00:56:25	Lynn Chapin:	With 20-21 balanced, open 2NT
                                With 22-24 balanced, open 2C first, rebid 2NT
                                With 25-27 balanced, open 2C first, rebid 3NT

                                With 24 and a gorgeous suit that's a source of tricks, UPGRADE! 🤓
