Andrew Robson's 'Discuss it with the Experts' seminar

Here is the first part of Andrew Robson's seminar from the Brighton Summer Meeting 2014. Most mornings at the congress an international player, or esteemed bridge journalist, talks with the audience about hands from the previous day as part of the 'Discuss it with the Expert' series.

Andrew spoke on Saturday 9th August about hands played the previous evening in the first session of the Swiss Pairs event. The results are here, but the deals discussed are below the video.

We are sorry if some of the comments from the audience aren't clear on the recording - unfortunately we can't control how loudly they speak.
