Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Anant Rathi's bidding problem: AK9xx Qx 8xxx Kx
- I don't think 3♠ can be forcing here, as you can always bid 4♣ if you want to force again.
- Anant Rathi's bidding problem: T7xxx Qx AJTx xx
- Did partner have a way to ask for keycards over 3♦?
- ATB missed slam
- Changed to mostly W. When we are playing leb, I'd just assume going through it would be a stronger hand. Plus as JDonn mentioned below, W could have overcalled (though it's close).
- ATB missed slam
- I've abstained pending a system question: Are you playing lebensohl after balancing seat doubles? If so, what would West's 2N followed 4H mean? Also, should there be a 50-50 option (since none means something different)?
- Floyd McWilliams's lead problem: T43 KQJ642 --- KT93
- Assuming partner has Axx and declarer has 1 heart, partner will see the ♥T on the first round (no matter who has it). This will make it clear that the ♥J is an alarm bell, and hopefully partner can figure out to shift to a diamond. Partner doesn't know ...

- Hiding and unhiding forums
- +1 - I just tried adding a forum to my forums, and it doesn't show up in my forums list (on BW homepage).
- Plan the Play 6N IMPS
- Neural networks work quite well for perfect information games (chess, go, backgammon, etc.). Imperfect information games (bridge, poker) are much harder to simulate in neural nets. Without getting into too much detail: perfect information games have a deterministic value function which can be used to calculate the highest value next ...
- Douglas Kuschner's bidding problem: Q82 --- AKQJ6432 A4
- Dbl followed by 5♦. I don't think just 5♦ does this hand justice (you would've opened it 2♣, right?)
- Oren Kriegel's bidding problem: K98743 AKT --- KQ63
- Gonzalo - I think you may have misread my post due to its formatting. I was saying that after bidding 5♣ as a cuebid, it's unclear what your rebid would be over 5♦. Rebidding 5♠ at that point (after 5♣) looks like you're hunting for ...
