Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- A 16 IMP swing in a 7 IMP Quarterfinal loss
- I seem to recall that in the Vugraph match in the juniors, the declarer in 4 spades found the winning line at the table. (I think the defense played 2 clubs before shifting to the diamond though, which makes the timing easier.) Sorry about your finish in the KOs, better ...
- China - Semifinal Comeback
- He could probably afford to play the KH once the T drops today, but he could make on his line even if RHO's hearts are T8x. That requires not cashing the K prematurely to preserve a trump coup type position. Regardless, a well analyzed and played hand, one which ...
- Reisinger B-A-M KO?
- Henry, I'm not 100% sure of the facts here but I believe there is a difference in capabilities between ACBLScore and the software the WBF uses when it comes to integration with bridgemates. I don't think ACBLScore has a mode to accept board-by-board team results for IMPs, only ...
- Reisinger B-A-M KO?
- Hi Brad and all, I had a very similar idea many years ago, or rather I was surprised when I first learned that the Reisinger was not run like this. I would also personally be in support of such an event. The complications come in with scheduling, as people are ...
- Searching for Bobby Hamman
- Just confirming what Josh said, I started when I was 4. I'm told that my first exposure to bridge was at less than a week old. :-) My parents had a regular game with their college friends every week. I was sitting on laps as a toddler and always told ...
- In the Well: Joel Wooldridge
- Joel, congrats again on winning PotY. Now that you have achieved all this success, are you going to go to DisneyWorld? ;D
- Making Lemonade
- @Melke: You are correct that if RHO has 3 spades, he can return a spade and you are back to your original diamond chances only. As against that, if you only play one round of spades before leading clubs, you will never be in a position like in the article ...
- Making Lemonade
- I didn't want to get into the bidding, but the "problem" is that at the table, North was dealer and opened the bidding. I'm pretty sure the other table had the auction P-P-1S-P-2C*-X-....something which led to a partscore. The point I wanted to make was about ...

- Good point about 3NT, but in the end we are still in 4♠. ;D
- Breakin’ the Rules – Opening Lead
- I have a few underlead-ace stories that have worked out well. Probably the most "spectacular" of these in terms of breaking the rules was I once lead the Q from AQxx to great advantage. Dummy had KTxx, my wife Jenni had J9x, declarer 2 small. The Q held trick 1 ...
