Here are some facts:
Every time I play duplicate bridge, the most prevalent theme in every session is - the defense is awful. An expert friend told me that when he declares a hand in a duplicate game, if the defenders present him with one undeserved trick, he is disappointed! He has come to expect at least two!!
Everyone knows (or should) that defense is the most difficult part of bridge. Accordingly, most players ignore the problem and hope that it will cure itself. They continue to trust their instincts, play a lot and hope for a miracle cure. Guess how that works out.
If instead, YOU are willing to take the time to learn more about defense, no one can guarantee that you'll become a terrific defender. But I bet that those who make an effort will be delighted when they see their opponents make fewer contracts and overtricks.
