Hi ,

Watch the video

Like many of us, I've been playing more bridge online these last two years and have really enjoyed the free bridge tournaments at BBO. Unfortunately, I still frequently encounter bidding from the BBO Robots that confuses me. In this hand, I open 1S and partner responds a "Forcing 1NT".

Um... what is that?

Luckily I have Adam Parrish on speed dial who can help us out first to explain that 1NT response bid and then to give us direction in how we might play this hand when we're missing six trumps cards.

Watch through the video and then play through the featured bridge hand here:
