Membership
Free to join — and free for now
Membership is the part of Opening Lead with Peter Fredin where you get Peter’s attention: your questions, your hands, and the discussions underneath them. Creating an account costs nothing, and today every account has the full membership.
Ask Peter about a hand
Build the deal and the bidding, then ask how you should have bid or played it. Peter answers some of them, sometimes on video.
Publish a handPeter’s answers to member hands
Every answered hand is published with the diagram, the bidding and Peter’s explanation — read them all in one place.
Read the hand answersPeter’s answers to member questions
General bridge questions members have asked, answered in Peter’s own words — with video whenever he records one.
Read the question answersJoin the discussions
Members can comment under every story and every published hand, and Peter joins in when he has something to add.

Payment is not switched on yet, so for now a free account can do everything in the two right-hand columns. When payment starts (Member $10 a month, Platinum $25), the table above is what will apply. No tier promises an answer: Peter selects at least 2 hands and 2 questions every day, and paying members are first in line.
