- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- The competing analyses of whether leading the DA was "demonstrably suggested" by the UI, given that the comment was AI, and whether not leading the DA was a logical alternative present interesting issues of bridge law and bridge logic. However, with the exception of brief reference by Messrs. Grainger, Cole ...
- Not your typical lead problem
- I hope that I am not the only reader who was extremely troubled by the write-up of the Blue Ribbon Pairs appeal that was published in the December 1 Daily Bulletin. As I understand the write-up, the section headed "The Appeal" was intended to present a summary of the arguments ...
- ACBL Chief Executive Dismissed
- In response to Larry Sealy's comment about Marvin Barnes, it should be noted that the original Bad News Barnes was Jim "Bad News" Barnes, from Texas Western, who was a number 1 draft pick for the Knicks in 1964, which was 10 years before Marvin Barnes came out of ...
- Rule this Claim!

- To Sabine and Roy
- As I read the reported results for Board 3 of Session 7, it would seem that West is reported as having led DJ at Table 22 (the Auken/Welland table), but at five other tables(11, 14, 16, 17, 25), South is reported as having led DJ. Can it really ...
- WBF vindicated ?
- With all respect, Mr. Hartman's comment is confusing to me. The word "approbation" means "approval" or "endorsement." Surely, Mr. Hartman does not mean to suggest that the WBF should expect a "tsunami of approval."
