- Grosvenored by a Bot
- I mean ♠KQx and ♣7x is also a layout. Rather foolish to play two spades there after ♦J holds. Regarding your second point, RHO would cash ♥A before giving the club ruff, and ♥K is only relevant if declarer holds stiff ♠K (a possibility that the robot will discount based ...
- New Zealand Interprovincial Championships. My first time on vugraph - not a great experience
- You should probably talk to the director, or the vugraph operator, or the organisers. If you haven't done any of those things, posting about it on Bridgewinners won't change anything.

- Bowling Along 4 - Topsy Turvey Tuesday
