B) Are there any detailed instructions for playing bridge in Yahoo?

Answered by: blumblum98

There are no detailed instructions that I know of. Here are some things I found helpful

1. Start in social room until you become comfortable with the screen.
2. Ask other players questions. Social room more social and more likely to get reply
3. Locate review bidding, score, and bidding boxes.
4. Drag bidding box to upper right hand corner.
5. When you enter a new room and a game is going on, review bidding so you can figure out where they are.
6. Look at table to determine what the contract is and who is declarer.
7. Remember this is rubber bridge, check score for vulnerability and who has a leg on.
8. Click card twice to play it.
9. Click bidding screen to bid.
10. Don't overestimate your ability, play in a room that is appropriate. If you play in advanced room, and can't bid or play, partner can recognize it, and will leave-some more gracefully than others.
11. If you are going to leave, announce it. Don't leave in the middle of a hand unless you are dummy.
12. Fill out a profile
13. Check partners profile
14. Don't give advice no matter how desperately partner needs it.
15. If you hit the wrong bid or computer bids for you ask for an undo.
16. If it wont undo either skip hand or make the best of it.
17. Play fast, you get in more hands.
