Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Do You Count Your Cards?
- I always count my cards, but it had happened that two other players (incuding my partner) had not, so we got a penalty. But these days, as we play the MP champs on tablet, we don't have this kind of problem.:)
- Format for National Team Trials
- Hungary All teams are selected by team KO matches. Seeding by Hungarian masterpoint list. 1st plays 4th, etc. Semifinals/finals usually 128 bds. Exception: the mixed teams trials, with the lack of dates available, it was played off over a single weekend (64-bd semis and final). Sometimes there are less ...
- Roman Key Card Queen ask
- We play spiral scan, so first step always denies the asked value, higher steps show the card and the next in line. So this time, 5♥ means no Q, 5♠ is queen but not the next king, 5NT shows queen and the first king, but not the second ...
- Accusation of Plagiarism against Mark Horton
- This has to be at the discretion of the directors. I was doing the bulletin in Opatija (European Youth Pairs), and as a journalist, I was allowed to watch both sides of the screen - as a spectator only, this is a no-no, of course. (there was no BBO coverage.) I ...
- The Next Step
- Once more a reference to another card game I used to play, Magic: the Gathering. Their rules are built up around casual, or serious tournament games, they call them Rule Enforcment Levels, I think there are 5, 1 being the most lenient (for beginners, club/shop games, etc), and 5 ...
- We play with tablets on Sunday
- That was one of the reasons I stopped playing on BBO with random strangers - always getting the 'pls play' comments, or worse, getting kicked off the table for not insta-clicking. This is not a horse race, or not even poker. Sometimes you have to stop to think, let us have ...
- 1430 or 3041?
- As it was said but not stressed before: it all comes from the laziness of people wanting to play 4NT RKC with all suits. If you tried minorwood/kickback, this question would never come up. I heard people say '4S as rkc H? I could never remember that...' - well, sorry ...
- A question on precision 1!D opening
- Ok, so on high level (superchart) both old 2D and 1M-1nt GF are allowed, phew. Is this true even if all other responses to 1M show less than gf and therefore not even forcing? Thnx for the info anyway. Strange place, that side of the pond.:-)
- A question on precision 1!D opening
- Really? This is very strange. And then I hear even 1M-1nt GF response is not allowed, either...:-( Is this true for all events, or just shorter ones (like MP)? One day I would like to play in a Spingold or something, but not sure what 'tweaks' I would need not ...
- A question on precision 1!D opening
- I would adovcate our version: 1D 4+ unbal 2C 5C4M or 6+ 2D 4414/4405/45xx 1nt 12-15 bal So 1nt rebid is unbal, too, 1d followed by 2c is 54 either way. We raise 1H with 3 or 4, bid 2H over 1d-1s with 3s (stolen from Kit). :-)
