- Death to all kibitzers - Vol. 1
- The fact that the slam was bid meant that either team D or team E was about to win the event. It seems unfair that a kibitzer can take away that opportunity. What if the kibitzer turns out to be someone associated with team A?
- 3-level responses to Strong 1NT
- With 2♠/nt as transfers: 3♣ Drink Stayman (to ask or show a 5crd major) 3♦ Multi-Invite (6crd major) 3M Splinter with at least 5-4 in the minors All hands with precisely a 5crd major and no slam interest bid Drink Stayman, then a sequence like 1nt-2 ...
- 1!c or 1!d?
- Suppose you would open 1C will all balanced hands outside your NT range (15-17), is it then still a good idea to have a 9-11 1nt response?

- Fun with Fantunes (3)
- I'd play a club to the ace in the 2nd trick. Only East can trick you with the J or T, never West.
- 1M 2C and follow ups
- Playing relays you relay with hand a. Hand b bids 3S (Splinter). Hand c bids 3H.
- Taming the Weak Notrump, part 2
- It just feels weird to make a forcing pass with any 0-4 hand...
- Taming the Weak Notrump, part 2
- Thank you for this article. If 2nd hand doubles and 3rd hand makes a natural bid, 4th hand must pass with less than 5hcp? Wouldn't it be better to have 4th hand bid with very weak (0-4) hands and only pass with 5+hcp?
