Trying hard to learn to play bridge well. Stubbornly believe that is possible despite learning in my 40's.

- Ban Collusive Cheaters For Life
- Mine was a emoticon-challenged version of the same, though I left out the "-" and had just a ;)
- Ban Collusive Cheaters For Life
- Richard, How can you possibly say that Melanies action is in any way morally equivalent to taking ones football and going home? If someone went home they remove themselves entirely from the conversation. Melanie can still read all the comments and silently follow the conversation. But much more important aking ...
- You call the Director. You get a ruling
- I have argued that rulings I won were incorrect (sometimes with success) but I did not know that the prevailing party in a ruling actually had standing to formally appeal, so as a result I have never appealed a ruling I won. Good to know that this is possible. Edit ...
- A Request from Ms Manners
- Yeah, I am thick skinned... and sometimes I make decisions so bad that #6 doesn't even capture it... had some like that today. But who wants to go plus +670 against a partscore when you can go -800 anyway?
- Ban Collusive Cheaters For Life
- It can't be logical to say that what you describe is equivalent to murder since it clearly isn't as bad as, for example, shooting your partner for going down in a cold contract, which is obviously the best "equivalent" of murder if such things are to be included ...
- Another cool double dummy problem from the common game
- Yep. Like the hidden gem movie scene after the credits are already rolling, after the "endplay" there is another ending :)
- Another cool double dummy problem from the common game

- Another cool double dummy problem from the common game
- Agree. So now try to take 9 on a club lead.
- Another cool double dummy problem from the common game
- As Steve points out above if they don't lead a trump you can come to 9 tricks by setting up spades. So yes, assume a club lead.
- Another cool double dummy problem from the common game
- Are you sure this line works? When you give up a heart they can tap you in spades... how do you keep control?
