- Hawaii NABC Needs Your Support
- It doesn't bother me if a Flight C pair wins some masterpoints for below average; it will encourage them to come back.
- Symmetric Two-Bids (clubs and diamonds both strong and artificial)
- I played these for a while, some time ago, also. They worked very well. However, the frequency of occurrence was very low, so we switched back to weak 2D.
- Hawaii NABC Needs Your Support
- In all these comments I have yet to see the word "chutzpah" used.
- NABCs
- During my working career, having the Fall Nationals over Thanksgiving was a great boon to me. It meant I could play four straight days without taking any vacation. Now, like everybody else, I'm retired, so that's not such a great idea anymore.
- The Talk That Never Was: The Blue Team Rule
- 1983 was with screens. Avon has said several times that the Blue Team was far less effective with screens.
- The Talk That Never Was: The Blue Team Rule
- I've finally finished the book; it's pretty dense, and I'm convinced. But I'm an American, so presumed to be biased. (It was a good thing that this book was written by a "neutral", BTW).
- Another Look at Walter Avarelli
- Is Madala of Italian ethnicity? If not, then Avarelli's record stands.
- The History of History (Part 1)
- And half of those 20,000 WC players post on BridgeWinners.
- The Language of Bridge is Book of the Year
- Great book, and congratulations to Kit. I wonder if next year's winner will be more controversial.
- #saynotocheats
- Neither premeditated nor collusive. Note that I am not defending Passell, merely pointing out that his transgressions are less than Fantunes'.
