Matthew Weingarten (bridgeoverlord201, coolbeans) has been streaming on Twitch. Entertaining (and educational!). Warning: some frank comments. Hey, but that's where the entertainment kicks in.
https://www.twitch.t...rlord201/videos

PS Part of the education is seeing the use of signals in action. Coolbeans and vreemde are using low encouraging and reverse count (high-low shows odd number in suit). The other thing I do is stop the video and see if I can work out the hands: locate missing high cards and determine suits' distribution.

I appreciate the kind remarks pdmunro! Everyone is welcome whenever I'm streaming (either playing or commentating events like the JUSBC which is currently ongoing). It's PG-13 because I can't control myself ever, but still enjoyable regardless.

I have also been watching and enjoying www.twitch.tv/bridgeoverlord201, so thanks Matthew.

A search here reveals nothing for "twitch" so I'll recommend checking out the bridge content there if you haven't done so already. coolbeans is part of a small group taking the game to this platform: /v8mama /peterhollands /kuhchung /lucbellicaud /demicoma /jamie_elijah /rogamore (and probably others I haven't come across).

All of these use broadcast Bbo play in an environment which encourages user participation ("chat") in the commentary. A number of international, US and Australian events have benefited from the work these people do to broaden the reach of information provided by the vugraph operators. They do this in a way that is additional to, rather than in competition with, the work done by the online written commentators.

What stands out though is the diversity of level, intention, and approach of the Twitch streamers. You're not expected to warm to each to the same degree: the value lies in having something of interest to the broadest range of people.

A bughouse chess streamer /chuckmoulton used Twitch and Bbo to teach bridge to a complete newcomer to the game. I hope he considers having more bridge streams. There's a lot of potential with this platform and I again thank coolbeans and all the others for the content they provide.

Matthew Weingarten has just now saved his Twitch commentary of his recent NAOBC games to his YouTube channel, https://www.youtube....lord201/videos.

I'm glad he did this. Unfortunately, Twitch videos get deleted after a short time, whereas YouTube videos are a much more "permanent" record. His commentary has certainly been an excellent learning experience for me. I think of them as "thoughts from the heat of the battle".
