I first saw Nabil Edggton at the 14th World Youth Team Championships in Taicang. I remember being in the Vugraph room and hearing fellow Aussie (Nabil is from Oz) David Stern say something to the effect of, Andy (Hung, Neil's junior and current partner) likes to bid game and let Nabil play it. It still strikes as the type of compliment on which I would love to be on the receiving end.
Nabil and I became friends when we teamed up for the Rosenbloom in 2018. We don't talk about it here, but Nabil is a total hunk. He's a good friend and I am pleased to share this conversation with our listeners.
