- Favorite Bridge Memory
- So far, operating the VuGraph for a USBC final with Martel/Stansby vs. Meckwell. It was just like a bunch of friends getting together for a friendly Saturday evening card game.

- Favorite Tournaments

- Favorite Conventions
- I really like Meckwell's 2!D response to 1!C openings, showing 8-10 balanced, allowing the strong hand to declare a likely NT contract.

- First Time on an Appeals Committee
- John, I did not imply that recuse myself for feelings of personal comfort. If I feel I cannot be impartial because the appeal deals with my team or someone personally close, then I feel obligated to do so. If I feel I can be objective, then there is no ethical ...
- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: QJ9 Q73 AK92 JT8
- I abstained because I am a firm advocate of weak NT openings. This is exactly the kind of situation that makes the 12-14 NT opening effective. ...and yes, I do get tagged for a number once every couple of years or so, but I see it as the cost of ...
- First Time on an Appeals Committee

- "2 opening hands facing each other should have play for 1NT." Aren't you the optimist, Yuan! :)
- First Time on an Appeals Committee
- Those who now me will tell you I'm not easily bullied into conformity. :) Both you and Andy have advised me to study up on the relevant laws. That I will do in advance. Thanks.

- First Time on an Appeals Committee
- Excellent link, John, the exercise you suggest sounds like just the thing I need.
- First Time on an Appeals Committee
- I'm not afraid of making a call regardless of the context. I'm just saying that I'd rather the match result not be from the committee room. I understand that this tournament is at a different level and the atmosphere at BW is rarifed
