- Bad Luck trumps broke!
- Since I have read the article about this deal in The Bridge World magazine back in 1996 or early 1997, it is quite likely that I forgot details. I kept only a copy of deal diagram. Thank you for correcting my comment.
- Bad Luck trumps broke!
- At all tables where hearts were played, all declarers went one down regardless of the level (4♥, 6♥ or 7♥). All of them took a reasonable line of play.
- What did Larry Cohen say?
- Rhodes 1996, quarterfinals. Contracts were 4♥, 6♥ and 7♥, down one.
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- At the very moment of my heart showing misbid I knew my bid could not be alerted. My English is poor and it is obvious that I can not express my thoughts clearly , therefore I surrender and sincerely apologize for taking so much of your time.
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- I intended to show spades but my misbid showed hearts. Opener`s lack of alert confirmed that he assumed I showed hearts, so how could he raise spades? Only if my facial expression or gesture at the moment of misbid gave him a clue. If that was the case, there ...
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- If lack of alert is unauthorized information and alert is misinformation, both calls are illegal. Anyway, I would treat 3♠ bid as an extremely strong raise of hearts (splinter?) and bid 4♠ cue hoping to hear 5♣ cue which I can pass. If opener makes any other ...
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- I would probably play 6♥ doubled. Another possibility is 4♠ (cue) - 5♣(cue) - pass. I have only disputed the existence of UI.
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- But opener could not alert 1♥ as showing spades. Their agreement is that 1♥ shows hearts.
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- I must have misunderstood the problem. By partnership agreement 1♥ showed hearts, opener did not alert, so he expected hearts in partner`s hand. No UI so far. 1♥ bidder said he was immediately aware of his misbid. If he made some facial expression or a gesture at ...
- Mark Jones's bidding problem: A876 J9 Q4 QJT86
- Responder could alert his ♥ bid only if the game was played online or with the use of screens. Openers failure to alert and illogical (under assumption that partner had hearts) 3♠ bid is highly suspicious. Would he splinter with ♠x ♥AKQx ♦Ax ♣AKxxxx?
