- Declare or defend 3NT?
- I suspect that East would (should?) duck the Club from dummy. If South had Jx or Qx in clubs flying would leave the suit running and easy communication to the winners where ducking would strand them. It might be difficult for West to duck also when South produces the Jack ...
- Ovunc Yilmaz's bidding problem: 7 KQ9854 KQJ43 6
- I would pass unless the opponents were playing a club system and the 3C bid was NF...If that were the case there is too much potential to miss a Game or at least partial in D (or H)

- What's partner up to?
- the slow Dbl would probably confirm that partner has made a "penalty" dbl rather than a "lightner" dbl. Normally a dbl in an auction like this would demand the opening lead H ruff, clearly not the case here. Perhaps it is for the opening lead C ruff, say partner has ...
- USBC Appeal #3
- The element of this issue that I find most troublesome stems from my vague understanding that when UI is found the director is expected to select from reasonable results that might have occurred had the UI not been exploited. In this case I think that there is clearly reason to ...
- USBC Appeal #3
- I am late to this party but I think that it is relevant to consider that Meckstroth was aware when the H Q fetched slow encouragement that declarer no longer could have had KQJx Jx xx A10xxx (a perfectly clear 1C opener, even for this sound opening pair). The play ...
