New Tricks International Teams Challenge: US vs UK (part one)

[@richardmartin1904]

This is absolutely brilliant to watch! Hearing the thoughts from the experts as they play the hand is invaluable. Great entertainment and superb bridge. Best bridge video out there. Thank you and well done everyone!

[@mailsuejohnson]

Many thanks, Richard. Lots more to come, so look out for Part Two on Sunday

LOVED listening to the commentary. I actually learned quite a bit from these crazy hands.

[@mailsuejohnson]

Me too!

[@sashacooper9326]

This format is the best yet. Really dynamic :)

[@mailsuejohnson]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to record and there are some great hands coming up. 😀

[@sepp31415]

Super cool to watch all you guys, thanks a lot for doing that! I'm especially happy to see Rob and Gavin as partners (and not "only" as partners-in-crime, playing with a robot...).

[@mailsuejohnson]

So glad you’re enjoying it . I agree about Rob and Gavin - all those Wednesday mornings have developed a nice level of understanding between them 😀

[@greggouillart751]

It's a great format AND you got the best of the best. Some of the best personalities and teachers in the game. :) I'm glad we're getting away from robot tournaments - no disrespect meant to the intelligent teams behind the bots, and they do serve a purpose. But ultimately, bridge is a game for humans and I think it's more entertaining that way.

[@lyzmusic93]

[@rukdropov]

[@ulrichdaullary3886]

Wow, that‘s great😀

[@julfikaralnahianrozen4212]

My favorite Robson is there😀😀

[@mailsuejohnson]

He is superb at explaining his thinking, and at just the right level - always interesting and never talking down to the audience

[@julfikaralnahianrozen4212]

@@mailsuejohnson Agreed and I have learned a lot from his vdo.

[@kevinmartin9800]

Its all good stuff here but I wish sometimes they would play out the hand for us mere mortals - just a few more seconds needed. Thanks

On the first hand, why should Zia's club return not show the ten of spades, looking for uppercut? I think: keep it simple. If you have good diamonds, play them. Though of course Zia is far more experienced than I.

[@mustafa2010ism]

Zia playing for UK?! How interesting.....

[@mailsuejohnson]

It’s where he lives 😀. The man is multicultural,
