Jeff, I apologise for incorrectly stating you changed stories - this is what was told to me by my teammates.
I want to emphasise that I’m not trying to vilify you or complain about the ruling (hence leaving you anonymous) - I just wanted a discussion about the laws regarding these ...
N attempted to Kokish and was alerted to the mishappenings by partner first not alerting 2♥ and second jumping to 3♠. I don’t know what their actual agreement is.
For what it matters, I have learned that declarer had successfully managed their entries and tested the ♦ suit - the play was strictly down to the two-way club finesse when declarer began thinking.
What if partner has only Qxx and the QC and continuing spades gives declarer his 8th and 9th tricks when declarer has JTxxx Axx KJx Kx? How does partner know to discourage at T1? I do not think this is so clear.
Hey Dennis, congrats on your player of the year!
Apart from the Vanderbilde, what would your favourite bridge memory be?
Who are your favourite players, either skill or personality wise?
Whats it like being on Team Lavazza? Do you ever feel any pressure?
Hope to see you at Nicky J ...
