Choose Standard English Acol or SAYC for the robots

More coming soon: we'll add evenings as the club grows.

Every dayMeet Sabi, our bridge robot

Sabi is ready to play day and night, also outside tournament hours. Practise at your own pace, with no waiting and no audience — mistakes are fine, you can undo anything, and the boards don't count towards anything. And don't underestimate Sabi — it plays at the level of an advanced bridge player, so it's also a great way to train bidding and defence together with your partner. Every day Sabi partners everyone in the Sabi Tournaments.
