- Lanzarotti Readmitted to ACBL
- For decades, Bobby Wolf has held top posts in the ACBL and WBF. [quote="Bobby Wolff"]'...B-H (Becker Hayden) were caught red-handed and tried at the Atlantic City Pair Trials in either 1966 or 1967 and found guilty as charged...'[/quote] [quote="Bobby Wolff"]'...My guess is that I can ...
- Your call
- Unless other agreements supervene, David Burn seems right. In either context, if an expert player overcalls 2N and, over partner's 3♦ advance, rebids 4♣, then the director should adjust and consider a PP. But the director might allow a major rebid, to show the putative fit.
- The four Queens Problem.
- I addressed Michael's question honestly. I agreed that it's easier to find a successful line, seeing all 4 hands (hinted at, earlier, by my references to [b][i]giraffes[/b][/i] and [b][i]ostriches[/b][/i]). Also, given the actual lead, I admitted that you might play ...

- The four Queens Problem.
- Belatedly, I realize that RHO holding ♦QT9 tripleton is another remote chance for 13 tricks.

- The four Queens Problem.
- I malign Michael. As declarer, [b][i]in 7N[/i][/b], he would always succeed, because he would take the pointed finesses early, revealing likely defensive shapes.
- The four Queens Problem.
- The giraffe and the ostrich outplay Michael every time: ♠A, ♦A, finesse ♠J, finesse ♦J, ♦K, ♥K, finesse and cash 3 more ♥s, cross to ♣A to reach this 3 card ending: Dummy... ♠ K x ♣ x Declarer ♦ x ♣ K x Claim, cashing ♠K. LHO must guard ...
- Obviously Ridiculous Comments
- When commentators ascribe different meanings to calls, with and without a bit, not all are joking, some put their suggestions into practice, and few admit to law-breaking :( Unfortunately, the practical enforcement of UI law is the real joke :)
- Another Game Won by Alpha
- [b][i]Alphazero[i][/b] ran on 1st generation [b][i]TPU[i][/b]s (Google's Tensor Progamming Unit -- a simple fast integrated circuit, designed specifically for [b][i]neural-netwoks[/i][/b]). The program was given just the basic rules of the game ([b][i]Shogi, Go, and Chess ...
