Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Slam Play Decision
- Sorry Steve :( You are completely right about what I wrote. I failed to account for the heart seven. You replied while I was correcting my mistake :(

- RHO is more likely to hold ♥QJ doubleton or ♥QJx than a singleton ♥ honour. If you rise with ♥K and RHO shows out, then you can try spades, hoping LHO has four.
- You revoked: do you admit it?
- John Torry's poll asks what you do under current law. In the International Bridge Laws Forum, I've posted a poll about whether the law should be changed: so that when you become aware of an infraction by your side, you are legally obliged to draw attention to it ...
- "Volje?" Trump Signals?

- Meckwell Slam Relay
- That must be tough on opponents who can't afford the disclosure-fee :)
- David Loeb's bidding problem: K J72 AT74 Q8743
- IMO, at IMPS and at adverse vulnerabilty, the purpose of the Michaels bid isn't to help opponents select the best line of play in their contract. It expresses a desire that we play the hand. It has extra power or extra shape. At least ♠ A Q J x ...
- Player-Based NABC Appeals Committees: Time for a Change?
- Michael Rosenberg points out that Adam Wildavski's studies confirm our natural expectation that committees tend to improve on the initial director-ruling. IMO, appeal committees are necessary - to allow players to exorcise their demons. - to right wrongs and uphold the law. - to publicise difficult points of law - to draw law-makers ...
