Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Did someone ask for more Declarer play problems?
- Sorry. Scoring is Imps. As to leading a D to the K, well, is that play much better than 50%? Can’t we do better? And, while I am back, I post a play problem and readers start critiquing the bidding. Are we all so devoted to carping? The bididng ...
- Declarer play problem
- It was matchpoints. Does it matter? They certainly make 3S and maybe 4. And I can’t help wondering what your line is to make 4C.
- An interesting message on my answering machine
- If Anna called me, I would ask want happened to the lifetime membership they promised me if .i made Life Master? I doubt she would know what I was talking about. But since they redefined membership to include just their Bulletin and no registration of master points, I have paid ...
- Rating Study from ACBL Tournaments
- Wow...what a lot of interesting work. Allow me to suggest a name for this: the Ping Rating!
- Where is that "very easy" 6NT post?
- Peter Fredin is a super-nova, maybe a Type II super-nova. Best to be at another table when he explodes. It seems he has a very simple approach to the 6NT hand that makes stripping South to the AS for a throwin with Jxxx in Hs obvious. I am eager to ...

- The chess world, yes, FIDE, is currently holding an online world championship event, Fischer-random speed chess. They had 9 matches between 8 players last weekend to select two players for a finals in Oslo. With serious prize money and well-known GMs. These matches lasted about four hours apiece and all ...
- Warning: this is a hard play problem.
- Yes, winning the JH and leading low towards the 9 again is fine and simpler. Thanks to all for the help. I will try to make the next one really hard. And, yes, any lead except a spade defeats 3NT.
- Warning: this is a hard play problem.
- The winning line was to cash 4 hearts then play AD and a D. East was 1-5-2-5 with a doubleton .D honor (actually KJ). He gets two clubs, one diamond and his fifth heart. In some variations, he is endplayed into leading into Dummy’s honor-five in clubs. Is this ...
- What are the EBU rules for 3rd seat light openers?
- Be caredul out there. Because no one expects The Spanish Inquisition.
- Club Ruling
- Why are we assuming 4SX goes -2? Beginners will often break hearts and lose the fifth defensive trick. Or if the defnse plays off theee rounds of diamonds, Declarer could force them to break hearts.
