- Your call after 2!c opener’s penalty double
- This is a very tough problem. Partner could have an obvious penalty double and we still could belong in 6 or 7 diamonds. In my regular partnerships, since pass would be forcing (and if I were then to x, it would amount to a shrug) we play that this x ...
- Searching for Hugh Grosvenor...Take 2
- Thx, Leigh. If you see someone who knows him, maybe ask them to call him and tell him I’m trying to contact him? Thanks again. :)
- Assess the blame (15)
- I can see Jeff Rubens reporting on this hand: “The auction was conducted in a haze of optimism...” I agree with 3h (S has “positive key cards”), but S should bid 3nt over 3s. N gets slightly more of the blame for not bidding 4h over 4c.

- Me too...but I would open 4s before I passed.

- Any Tassie players?
- Sorry, the body of this post got left off somehow. I’m trying to contact Hugh Grosvenor. Could someone please ask him to email me, or message me on BW. Thank you!
- 1!C - 1!H - rebid??
- This was a 1d opening bid for me for 40 years...and then I opened 1d with a similar collection playing with my dear friend Huub Bertens. It’s not that anything terrible happened, but he looked at me with that pained expression...I knew what was coming... “STOOpid American ...
- Who Will Direct the Directors?
- If bidding a 3cd M here is, as the Chief TD said “...quite common”, and that is in fact the partnership agreement, these factors lend great weight to evil intent on declarer’s part. One’s responses to questions about alerts in basic situations become robotic, i.e., “puppet to ...
