- Yusuf Sohtorik's bidding problem: 98754 J87 --- 97654
- If all pass why would there be any reason for the director to rule on anything? Question is how your partner and teammates would feel about it.
- How should the director rule
- I think once 4♥ is doubled west can legitimately run to 5♣. So the adjustment should be whichever is worse between 4♥ undoubled -9 (-450) or the table result which looks to be -5 or -1100. But director can (and should, IMO) also tack on a PP.
- How should the director rule
- If we assume 3♥ was natural, it would also be forcing without an (alertable!) agreement to the contrary. Thus 4♣ would still be west's normal bid. But 5♣ is clearly taking of advantage of partner's alerts to know there is a misunderstanding. West should have ...
- A better rating system
- The Common Game matchpoints the entire field together, typically 1000 - 1500 pairs, and provides results on each and very board, together with the hand record. I don't think you could have a better data set than this for developing a rating system. The only problem with it is you ...
- A better rating system
- @Richard: I would like to see a rating system that can be used for stratifying / bracketing games that will group people of similar ability into appropriate strats / brackets. Nice to have (that should come for free) is to also have it be a reasonable measure of personal improvement. This may ...
- A better rating system
- To those debating how to make a model accurate enough to use for prediction I have a question: Why do you want this? Seems only to be of interest to people who may be betting on a game.
- A better rating system
- I care. I would like to have a rating system, and am neither a pro nor an aspiring expert. However, I see no reason that having one should require more than a man-month of effort by a reasonably competent data scientist, and I don't think any new data would ...
- A better rating system
- I would assert that there are only two things that any rating system could possibly achieve in a useful way: 1. Improve seeding / bracketing / stratifying (These are all really variants of the same thing) such that the ability of the players placed at a certain level would be more uniform ...
- RIP Harold Feldheim
- Very sad to hear this news. My wife Valerie and I always enjoyed playing against Harold and groaning about his terrible jokes. We will miss him.
- A pet peeve
- Ray, I disagree with your theory. Teaching that involves conventions beyond stayman and blackwood is typically aimed at duplicate players, not social players. I hardly think it is much of a burden for the teacher to say " By the way, don't forget that you need to alert this." Of ...
