- The History of History (Part 1)
- On that particular hand, just based on point-count, it was pretty obvious for Reese to figure out that someone had psyched, and knowing Schapiro, it was also easy to guess who. Having come to that conclusion before his second call, the decisions to bid 2NT and pass 3♣ are ...
- "Killing Eve"

- Multi 2!D and Weak Twos
- Quite so. I'm totally out of touch these days, so perhaps I shouldn't have said anything. But I remember hearing that this was popular with juniors 30-odd years ago. Apparently some of them are still at it even in their old age!
- Multi 2!D and Weak Twos
- I think Multi for terrible weak 2s and 2H/2S for decent ones is played with some frequency in Britain, at least by the college kids.

- A similar situation arose in baseball. Switch-hitters are fairly common, that is, batters who can play left-handed or right-handed. Pitchers come in left-handed and right-handed styles also, and it is considered advantageous to bat left-handed against a right-hand pitcher, and vice versa. So a switch-hitter chooses how he stands depending ...
- Richard Granville's bidding problem: AQJ7 8 865 KQ974
- The way I play, 1♣ didn't promise 5 on this sequence, although choosing to rebid 1♠ typically means somehow unbalanced. So 3♣ seems easy for me. YMMV
- Polish Club: some doubts
- Thank you. Very informative site.
- Buck the Odds
- I think Kit was talking about involuntary reactions, rather than deliberate attempts to deceive. Behaving completely the same way regardless of your holding is a very difficult skill to master.
- Traveler View - negative good will for the club?
- In the polling, there was a distinct divide. The top players all preferred not to see anything. The weaker players all wanted to see everything. And there was a contingent that just wanted to see the percentages (which completely baffles me, as they are pretty much worthless for at least ...
- Sportsmanlike Dumping Arises Again
- While the possibility of dumping was there, because of the pre-determined brackets, guessing which to do (win or lose) is fraught this time around. The competition this time has seen favorites stumble and "weaker" teams playing very well. On paper, losing seems like a good idea, but this year you ...
