Sabi Tournament — 14 boards

New: an individual tournament. You play on your own, with Sabi, our bridge robot, as partner and both opponents. Everyone gets the same boards and the same robots, and the ranking compares your results with all other players. Seven quick rounds of two boards, done by 20:15.

Choose Standard English Acol or SAYC for the robots

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

New on FridaysMeet 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. On Fridays Sabi partners everyone in the Sabi Tournament.
