- 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 ...
- Nice article about chess cheater
- According to the accounts I've read, Bloodgood didn't really "rig" the tournaments. The rating inflation was an inevitable consequence of the flaws in the rating system concentrated by a closed pool of players. Bloodgood also held the record for the most simultaneous games of correspondence chess. When he ...
- Danger Hand First

- I played against Fishbein last night. But it was the *first* time I'd ever seen it.

- I hate my partner
- I had a partner pass my strong 2C opener once. (He was a good player, but was distracted by the director making an announcement.) Righty balanced with 2D!
- Gerry Gassman's bidding problem: AKQ K AQ AQ87532
- It would have helped if you'd stated in the comments that you play 1430 responses and specific kings.
- Book Play
- Puppet Stayman at the two-level is incompatible with Garbage Stayman. I think that's why more pairs don't play it.
