Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Use the Tools
- Kit, In the followup asks, might you ever get tangled up if responder has, say, the singleton King of Diamonds or Hearts? That would be one of his controls, but it wouldn't show up where you'd expect it to.
- Sylvia Shi's bidding problem: Jxxx Qxxx --- ATxxx
- Clear 4♠ bid. Vul games are where the money is. There's not much point in inviting when you have shortness you can't show (especially a void.) Partner's evaluation may be wrong, if you do invite, since he won't know which cards are good.
- Advanced, but not too obscure defensive problem
- John, A pretty defense, indeed. But, might there be a higher percentage plan? What about the plan of cashing the Ace of Diamonds and exiting a Spade? Doesn't that succeed when declarer has a singleton Diamond (or a void) and many possible Heart holdings including: Kxx(x), QJx(x ...
- Congrats John Adams, Sylvia Shi, Noble Shore, Brad Theurer
- I'll add my congratulations, too. They all played very well in beating my team in the Semi-Finals on Saturday.
- Ron von der Porten
- I looked in the newest one I have. He's in the 5th Edition, published in 1994. I know of no reason he wouldn't be in subsequent editions.

- You revoked: do you admit it?
- Jdonn, That could be a topic for another interesting thread: If your opponent revokes, but it doesn't cost you any tricks in the play, do you call the director to get the available penalty trick? I know there are some who have famously written that they don't accept ...
- You revoked: do you admit it?
- I agree, that I would not accept extra tricks that had accrued to my side as a result of my side's revoke. That's different than voluntarily incurring a penalty.
- You revoked: do you admit it?
- To me, the laws seem pretty clear. You should make no effort to conceal the revoke. Included in that would be to face your remaining cards if the opponents claim or concede, and not just "bury the evidence." And, the laws say you must correct your revoke (thus making it ...
- Lead Problem
- Agreeing. If partner believed they were going down on a Club lead, and might not go down on a Spade or Diamond lead, he should not have doubled, IMHO.
