- David Stevenson's lead problem: AQ53 J853 K A862
- I led the ♠A: declarer had Kx. A ♥ is safe. The ♣A is safe. The ♦K is safe! Declarer cannot get to dummy so dropped my ♦K. Declarer has stiff ♣K (the old theory of stiff Ks!) and partner has QT over dummy’s J. My partner was not ...
- How would you rule?
- It is obvious that E/W should not be gaining from their MI. Giving E/W the benefit of 4S-1 is just not bridge nor natural justice. So is South’s play an ESE (not a SEWoG - wrong law book)? I find it difficult to be sure. It is so ...
- Max Bavin 1954-2019
- A terrible shock. A great help to me in my tournament direction and administration.
- MI (?) Ruling
- Hmpf. The correct description was not what Matt says that David Burn says, but “No agreement”. If they are going to have a complete blind spot why should it be any different?
- MI (?) Ruling
- Since about 98+% play it as a Sputnik or Negative double in the first situation, and about 95+% in the second case, no, they never ask. Try a poll hare and see how people play these doubles.
- MI (?) Ruling
- N/S play 2D 2S 3S as 1=4=4=4 18+ and unbelievably think that changes when someone sticks in a takeout double. Unless they are complete beginners who would not be playing the Multi one thing is certain: the alleged MI had no effect on their bidding. It ...
- MI (?) Ruling
- That is horrible and one of the very few reasons I dislike playing in Scotland. Fortunately the advantages of playing there are sufficient. I hate gaining from opponents who do not ask 1S (2H) x and do not realise it shows clubs, or 1C (1D) x which shows hearts. There ...
- MI (?) Ruling
- The best reason for the presumption that a double of a 2S response which is pass or correct is not alertable if it is takeout is based on the following: That is what everyone assumes. That is what everyone played. That is everyone’s understanding. Ok, ok, it should be ...
- Ethical Or Not?
- Their approach to doubles is unhelpful to say the least. When I play at Peebles 1S (2H) X will show clubs and will not be alertable. But I think people expect natural bids to have one non-alertable meaning and this is very very often not the case. In nearly every ...
- Ethical Or Not?
- I understand the confusion. Yes, it still looks like my post but I can see how it could have been intended as your post. I was surprised at the SBU treatment. While it does not mention 1M 3M specifically it does say specifically that 1m 3m preemptive is not alertable ...
