I normally have a Zoom talk 1 hour before each game.  Please use the "Contact me" box if you are interested in playing in these games or attending the talk

I now have over 100 videos on different aspects of bridge.  You can access all these videos on my Channel on https://www.youtube.com/c/TonyStawBridgeClass

Please feel free to subscribe, tell your friends or give me a “thumbs up” or comment if you found a video useful. 

A number of people have kindly given me some very positive feedback about these:

• Jerseyrab: Terrific Bridge teacher who teaches you how to play the cards, not just the conventions
• none: Wonderful and clear examples as always! The most educational Bridge channel on here. Please keep the lessons coming!

• nsl679: Thank you Tony. An old video which I rewatched today. It's packed with useful information and useful tips, like how to deal with opps having KQT and ducking. Many thanks
• Jerseyrab: I discovered Tony's videos several months back, and in the last 3 months I have been really studying them, especially those that help me understand how to play the cards better. I am a much more confident Declarer now and very recently my EBU NGS grade has gone from 2 to 4, thanks to Tony. I am sure if I keep following Tony on Youtube I can get to 7 or 8 in the next 12 months.
• nsl679: Another great lesson, Tony. Many thanks
• Pinner bridge club? Amazing! I used to go there about 40 years ago

Hope you enjoy these, too.
Tony

There are a number of website offering the ability to play bridge online such as Bridge Club Live, Funbridge, Trickster and Bridge Base Online.

All the websites allow you to join as a guest, and just watch (kibbitz) for a while. 

Bridge Base Online (BBO) is probably one of the best.  Tony Staw has made a short video about the Acol Players' group on BBO www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRWcZWpxBLk and there is lots more information about this on https://berwickbridgeclub.co.uk/bbo 

You can also play in EBU games on Bridgebase Online (BBO)  https://www.ebu.co.uk/node/3738 

Finally, there is another article about playing bridge on your computer or mobile device on https://www.ebu.co.uk/online

"Learning bridge has transformed my social life!  How I wish I had learned earlier!  I now have a circle of friends who meet regularly to play (together with a glass or two of wine)"

"After my husband died last year, I am so glad I have now found this delightful but infuriating game, that gets me out of the house, and keeps my brain active"

"Tony has managed to make learning bridge really fun!"
