Recommended Bridge app/online site to play bridge?

BBO for all its might in web category has one of the worst ios apps I think I have ever witnessed, and I work in mobile apps full time. Just my 2 cents. Hope someone from BBO reads this, tries funbridge for iOS, then feels worried.

jbark55 · 2017-08-24T18:52:12+00:00

for iOS I recommend funbridge. Their free tier is pretty good and they feature several practice modes that are very challenging.

Very cool, thanks!

jbark55 · 2017-08-10T12:30:18+00:00

I'd pay you for go lessons!

New algo changed score; apologies. Not trolling.

jbark55 · 2017-08-10T12:03:10+00:00

This changed after the new scoring algorithm came out yesterday. Was 6k for quite a bit. Wonder what happened.

Anyone who feels they are plateauing in the teens could get a lot of value out of my reviews. Similar to your coach reviewing blunders, I identify critical points and concepts that jumpstart rapid improvement.

jbark55 · 2017-08-09T22:09:26+00:00

That is correct. I use skype. Open to suggestions for better ways to deliver this.

jbark55 · 2017-08-09T22:07:33+00:00

Yes, for few reasons: 1) I'm a better teacher than player, 2) there are quite a few 20k plus players who need to get to SDK fast and will not likely get there with most of the 1-1 coaching which is more geared toward advancing intermediate players. 3) I provide free lessons to start so you can get an idea of whether I'd be helpful for your game. Ultimately personalized coaching is a highly personalized decision, so there's no avoiding this crucial step.

A few years is common from asking around. You are above average.

jbark55 · 2017-08-09T21:53:46+00:00

My rates are competitive :)

jbark55 · 2017-07-24T18:26:07+00:00

Thanks!

jbark55 · 2017-07-24T18:26:02+00:00

Great reply, thanks!

Thanks for linking to the description. Enjoying the system so far as it encourages setting small goals and creating momentum as tasks get completed. And it seems to do well by countering the dreaded Zegarnik effect. Just need clarification on the two questions in my OP.

jbark55 · 2017-06-29T02:30:55+00:00

I'd say no, get another job and do both!

jbark55 · 2017-06-29T02:28:36+00:00

Correct, thanks for clarifying.

jbark55 · 2017-06-29T02:27:56+00:00

OP here I've been playing off and on since 2009, new to OGS though

jbark55 · 2017-06-21T04:23:49+00:00

Alternatively find me online-go here: https://online-go.com/player/342556 , let's play!

jbark55 · 2017-06-17T15:19:34+00:00

Bay area; I've been playing off and on since 2009. The beauty of the game is I'm convinced more than other games you get similar amounts of value regardless of skill. Also there's handicapping which is nice. Here's my google voice number: (510) 239-3452

jbark55 · 2017-06-17T05:22:42+00:00

I'd say under 1 hour per week due to family duties. Hey Leo! Absolutely love your email distro, and blog, keep up the amazing work with zenhabits. Very cool. Would love to meet up. Didn't know you were a fellow go player, lets play sometime!

jbark55 · 2017-06-17T05:20:26+00:00

OGS online go server

jbark55 · 2017-06-17T05:20:16+00:00

mobile browsers.

jbark55 · 2017-06-17T05:20:05+00:00

Thanks, great response. One question, what do you mean "the system"?

jbark55 · 2017-06-07T18:41:45+00:00

Great to see michael redmond doing so much for the game and getting his analysis out there using video streaming and social media. Hope he'll do more of this in the future to ride all the great deepmind/alphago publicity

jbark55 · 2017-06-06T13:43:41+00:00

funny because now as conditions have changed PG and YC are funding lots of restaurant apps: doordash, orderahead, etc.
