2/1 Teacher's Manual
by Dee Berry
List Price: $25.00  Price: $19.75  You Save: $5.25 (21%)

This teacher's manual uses the "table as your blackboard" approach popularized in the ACBL Teach Accreditation Program. The lesson order is different from the sequence presented in "2/1 in a Nutshell" booklet. The booklet is designed for easy student reference. * The lesson structure is designed to spotlight vital system components: Forcing NT's, 2.1 Auctions, Jacoby 2NT, Special Advisory on Responses to 1 Diamond and NY rebids, Strong Opening Bids, Inverted Minors, Jump Shift Choices, Roman Keycard Blackwood and Gerber. Each Lesson stands independently, and the order except for the first three or four lessons is not important. If you prefer to teach Roman Keycard earlier, it is fine.

100 pages. Paperback.
