Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Gold Coast Teams -- a problem on defense
- Barry, Thanks for sharing on BW. With the benefit of East's count cards in both ♦'s and ♣'s as well as the sight of Dummy's ♣'s, it would have been no cost for West to elegantly hold East's hand on defence by dropping the ...
- Liam Milne's bidding problem: KJ8652 --- 64 A9643
- @ Marshall: That's interesting....I suppose that with less dramatic distribution yet enough strength to feel compelled to compete, (say) 5=3=2=3 and 11+ HCPs, again you would double? I suppose that Opener might be counted upon to divine what you have on the basis both of his ...
- Liam Milne's bidding problem: KJ8652 --- 64 A9643
- So the poor rodent facing you holds a not surprising (on this auction) though admittedly pessimistic ♠T ♥Kxx ♦ AJxxxx ♣ Kxx , applies the principle of "when in doubt, assume F" and has his choice of poison of getting your side even further overboard. I suggest, as you imply, that ...
- Liam Milne's bidding problem: KJ8652 --- 64 A9643
- "Implies six spades" Convenient if it were true....but might you elaborate (A) on the basis of your foregoing assertion and in particular (B) how else would you propose bidding with 5♠5♣ or 5♠6♣ (in each case holding extreme ♥ shortness)? I also note that to ...
- What do you play at trick three? The rest of the story
- Deleted (misread) with apologies
- 2 parter
- Michael R: LOL ..... thank you for stating my case so effectively .... after all, even you will find it a tall task to successfully reconcile your two following statements: (A) "(...) the PRESUMPTION should be that 3♦ says nothing about values" (emphasis mine) (B) "(...) I don't see how my conclusion ...
- 2 parter
- Michael R: "If 2N is defined as a scramble, then 3♦ shows zero values." In the absence of OP elaborating on his partnership's agreed distinction (usually about strength) if any between (A) 3♦ directly over X versus (B) scrambling 2N followed by a 3♦ correction, your ...
- Happy Trails, Matt Smith
- If anything, the foregoing plaudits are inadequate. Congratulations on an outstanding career and best wishes for a happy and long retirement Matt. I am left with the hope of having the pleasure of crossing swords with you (perhaps with Duncan?) at the bridge table should it now beckon to you ...
- 2019 Canadian National Team Championships
- The second place team included another though former Montrealer, Nick Gartaganis: a formidable and always resourceful adversary who oozes from every pore both irreproachable manners and unimpeachable ethics.
- Your call
- RR, I regret that your eloquent remarks do not in the least succeed in dissuading me from holding fast to my position that 4♦ is a decidedly inferior rebid vis-a-vis 5♣. Having pummelled each other with arguments defending our respective views, without any noticeable dent in each other ...
