- Colour Coded Playing Cards
- I can well believe it. My late father once picked up a 4-3-2-4 17-count and opened 1NT. After partner bid Stayman, and then 3NT after 2S, he looked more closely at his hand and realized that his diamonds were actually hearts. So he bid 6H, surprising everyone at the table ...
- A Bridge Swifty
- After one heart - pass, "Four Hearts!" bid Tom fitfully (and supportively). "I forgot we play Rusinow," said Tom misleadingly. "Boards go down a table, East-West pairs move up a table," said Tom directly.
- I DO NOT Know What To Say.
- "One town's very much like another When your head's down over your pieces, brother." --from the musical CHESS I played chess rather than bridge when I was young, but aside from that difference, I completely agree with Alan's assessment.
- Hand evaluation question
- At the table, I was East. Partner passed the 4H slam try. My stiff king was opposite his AQTx. Trumps were 2-2, and North spared us a guess by leading one. The jack of partner's 4-card suit dropped tripleton so we made 7. Partner then criticized me for not ...

Bloodgood also held the record for the most simultaneous games of correspondence chess. When he ...
- Danger Hand First
- Bottom of page 4: you have South winning the Ace of diamonds, but he already played it on the first trick.
- I would put this as a bidding quiz but . . .
- If you are "ethical" and bid 3NT, will West be "ethical" and avoid leading a spade, which may be the only lead to set the contract? I agree with Richard that pass is the right call.
- Asymmetry in Matchpoint Scoring
- How could that happen? Wouldn't an above-average score for North-South be a below-average score for East-West?
- Do you try to exploit Stolen Bids?
- I played against Fishbein last night. But it was the *first* time I'd ever seen it.
- Peg Kaplan's bidding problem: Jx Kx AKQJxxx xx
- Preempter's double after partner's raise to game can also mean: "I want to save, but I'm giving you a chance to leave the double in if you have a strong hand."
