* If you need some practice on RealBridge - which is much more akin to F2F bridge, as you see and hear each other - here are three suggestions :
1. Go the the RealBridge website, click on "Where Can I Play", then click on "Try RealBridge". After an 8 board taster session (twice a week) there is a short Q&A opportunity. Recommended.
2. Go to the EBU website, find the 26 January post entitled "EBU Social Bridge on RealBridge". You can book a four hour slot to play up to 20 boards with friends and not have to worry about making silly mistakes.
3. Have a game at Truro BC. They are in their infancy of using RealBridge, so they are tolerant of first-timers, as both the players and organisers are still at the learning stage.
STOP PRESS. Truro BC is running a FREE 15+ board familiarisation session on the RealBridge platform on Sunday afternoon 7 March 1.30pm for a 2.00pm start. No need to pre-book if you are a pair. Just sign in via the Truro website at the requested time, and wait patiently for the session to start. If you do not have a partner contact Mary Robson on 01872 272748 and a partner will be found for you.
