- 2020 North American Online Bridge Championships
- In case you don't know, here is a 3 minute clip from the British show, "The IT Crowd" in 2008 where Jen, head of IT, is shown the Internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDbyYGrswtg And this is her speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vywf48Dhyns
- The Kibs Are Not Alright
- @Kit: It looks like there was at least one cheating player at the tournaments. I didn't look up to see who you played against. I haven't looked at a single board from the event; just the data. I will state that based on what I see that Bart ...
- 2020 North American Online Bridge Championships
- @Richard: This is the difference between apples and oranges. A computer can look at a lot of data, and from this determine a player (or pair, I'll just use the generic term player from now on) that is likely cheating. It can do all of this very quickly. This ...

- How to Handle Suspicions of Cheating in an Online Club Game
- @Amy: No. No (illegal under the Laws). Yes, but if you had examples from previous situations you have a case, c.f. Lall/Bathurst. We all do. You shouldn't, spelling lessons instead :-); correct; we are all glad you are not.
- How to Handle Suspicions of Cheating in an Online Club Game
- I am working with some of the virtual clubs. They have banned players. It does not become public. They ban because the players are cheating. So far, no-one has complained. The cheating players move on to other clubs. ACBL does little; it is easier for the clubs to ban the ...
