- World Youth Team Championships August 8-18 2018
- Strongly agree with everything you wrote.

- How shocking, the countries where English is the dominant language come up with the best English names for the categories (the US names are very similar to the ones Andy lists above). I don't think the WBF officials were attempting to be offensive with their names, but it does ...
- A Deal for All Your Sides
- Debbie, you're correct, and I clarified it with Kevin today. I'll edit the article to reflect that.
- What a play by Maksymilian Chodacki
- Very nice. Reminiscent of Helgemo's finesse in this position: 97x AK6x low to the 7, then when East returned one from QJ10x he ran it to the 9. Good to be playing from the South. Might get a read on the spades when West plays a no-problem low spade ...

- It's true that all of the USA1 players are white guys. Perhaps that's not best for the image of bridge, but we thought this was the best team we could put together, and that's all we cared about. The juniors pick their own teams in the US ...
- 1 Diamond - 2 Clubs in 2/1
- That's a different MAFIA acronym than I've heard before. My first exposure used: MAjors FIrst Always. Chris Compton has a better one, at least in terms of actually mapping onto the MAFIA acronym: Majors Always First In Auction.
- Would you roll this back?
- (1) might be a useful question, but it's tainted by the fact that at this point South knows North thinks the double shows 5-7, so it's in his interest to agree with that, or at least hedge. (2) is certainly useful, but you should not tell the pollees ...
- Would you roll this back?
- Probably they are, but it would likely have a specialized meaning. My point is not that Grue-Moss would have this auction, but that an average player might not know what standard bidding theory is, particularly about Precision or other strong-club systems. My example meant to show that someone with "the ...
- Would you roll this back?
- Exactly, Max. If you poll (who I imagine to be, based on the information in this thread) South's peers and confront them with an undiscussed auction to 3NT, a significant number will pass because that's what they do when partner bids 3NT in undiscussed auctions. Far fewer of ...
