Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Major suit raises
- Thx Adam, I edited the hand to make 4H less good :) I think your ideas here are nice.
- Speak up?
- Randy, I am not sure what you mean here. My idea was to avoid suspicions about cheating by having the top pairs speak to each other instead of speaking to other people. I don't understand what that has to do with them also doing mistakes.
- Speak up?
- My idea is not so much about uniformity. I just think it can be better to speak than to be silent if you have something to say. However, there seems to be no uniformity at all with that view!
- Speak up?
- Eric, I don't know everything. Some may be offended by the questions and others by the answers. When it comes to the top-level bridge I don't think there will be very much to question about, but as I see it, if there is, why not do it when ...
- Speak up?

- Michal, I watch your match, and I was confused that you bid 3C a tempo but though about 15 seconds before raising spades, so your facts about that is correct. I think you have to keep alerting this 3C and explain, to avoid problems. I would be happy if you ...
- Anti cheating committee
- What really matters here is not if it is 'right' or 'wrong' to bid 3C. The question is: do you always bid 3C on these hands? Or was it just this time? As I said before - only a partner can tell.
- Anti cheating committee
- The actual hand was 9xx in D and AJ8x in C
