Big Seminars & accompanying x8 Set Hands
At the start of each month Bernard releases a new ‘Big Seminar’ with x8 accompanying Set Hands. This sets the ‘Topic of the Month’ and stemming from this Bernard discusses the topic in each Monday Live throughout the month, where you have the opportunity to engage on the live chat with Bernard and fellow viewers.
After watching the ‘Big Seminar’ there are 4 options to play or review the x8 Set Hands:
1. BMB organised Set Hand Games on BBO.
2. Download a LIN file of the Set Hands.
3. Download a PBN file of the Set Hands.
4. Review Bernard’s x8 Set Hand analysis videos.
See: ‘Practice & Play’ section for full guides on these options.
Bernard has created over 50 ‘Big Seminars’ which take a deep dive into key bridge topics. Each ‘Big Seminar’ is around an hour in length and accompanied by x8 Set Hands to give you an opportunity to practise and review what you have learnt.
& Set Hands
Live Shows
Bernard presents 3 weekly online Live Shows – they can be watched live or later at your leisure. The Monday and Friday Shows include mini seminars to give you an opportunity for regular learning across a range of topics. The shows are usually transmitted live at these times:
11am Monday LIVE (FREE open to Non-Member)
This is based on the ‘Topic of the Month’, and extends from the monthly ‘Big Seminar’.
7:30pm Wednesday Teams LIVE (FULL Members only – can also be purchased in the SHOP)
Bernard’s live Teams shows. Watch Bernard play live (or later at your leisure) while he commentates on his bidding and game play. During the Live Show there is an optional ‘live chat’ for viewers to interact with each other and Bernard with questions on the play at hand.
Once a month there is a Prize Teams game – winners of the weekly Lead (Prize) Quiz have the opportunity to play alongside Bernard and fellow BMB Members and have a game analysis with Bernard after the show.
As an alternative a Pairs Game (pre-recorded), may be shown in place of the Teams game. This may be from an independent game, or Bernard may have played in the previous Monday BMB evening game alongside fellow BMB Members. In both cases he provides an analysis of the game as it is being played.
11am Friday LIVE (FULL Members only – can also be purchased in the SHOP)
This live show includes a Mini Seminar that covers a different topic from the monthly topic and is often covered over several weeks. Delving more deeply into subjects.
