25th Feb 2025 - Thanks to Ian Jones we now have a video with sound showing how to analyse hands on this web site  https://youtu.be/1eB1kGgniCM (please note this is a YouTube video).  It is also available here where you can view it as a full page LBC Hand Analysis  Ian has noted that you will need a reasonable sized screen for viewing (smartphone too small).  He has also noted that the analysis is 'Double Dummy', where a member sees and plays all 4 hands, when trying to make a contract.
