Thank you so much for posting this very detailed lesson! There is so much in this video, it is necessary to pause and rewind to get a good understanding of these important guidelines to good defending. Defending is the hardest part of the game and the opening lead is the defense's only advantage - it should not be squandered. Having a plan to counter Declarer's plan and having a partner who is 'on the same page' is critical to successful defense. I am planning to watch part 2 and then rewatch both every week (over morning coffee) before going to my club game and try to get my regular partners to do the same. I am hoping we will see our results on defense improve.
