<h2><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial Black;"><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Arial Black';">The  Teacher </span></span></strong></h2>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent2"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Dennis Dawson<strong><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></strong>is a Grand Life Master of the ACBL. He has won more than 12,000  masterpoints, mostly in the last six years. He won the Bronze Medal at the 2003  Senior World Championship. He has won a national championship and almost 200  regional events. Hands he has played have appeared in Sheinwold’s and Jacoby’s  nationally syndicated bridge columns, as well as the <em><span style="font-style: italic;">New York  Times.</span></em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent2"><span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyTextIndent2"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As a teacher he is known for his logical explanations  and “cards on the table” approach. He is a frequent speaker at the American  Bridge Teacher’s convention. He has taught thousands of students since  1975.</span></span></p>

You must learn how to think at the table. Dennis will  first show you the defensive strategies you can choose from, and then tell you  how to pick the right one for each particular hand. This will help you defend  <em><span style="font-style: italic;">every </span></em>hand better! Practice what  you’ve learned by playing six hands. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Notes are included. </span></span></p>
