That's the first I've heard of that site.

Bridgebase, http://bridgebase.com, is probably the most popular
on-line bridge site.  I practice with several of my regular
partners on BBO fairly frequently, and use it as a teaching tool
for my wife too.

We OK, but not great at Atlanta, getting KO'ed early in the GNT
team game, only making it through to the second day of the
Mini-Spingolds, and getting to the quarter-finals of a KO event.

My regular partner and I did far better in the Open Pairs games,
finishing fairly high in the overalls.

We maintain that the very foundation of our way of life is what we call
free enterprise, said Cash McCall, "but when one of our citizens
show enough free enterprise to pile up a little of that profit, we do
our best to make him feel that he ought to be ashamed of himself."
