- 4♥ Seems to be a [b][i]slip of the mind[/i][/b] rather than a [b][i]slip of the hand[/i][/b]. Like similar laws, this law is unnecessary and should be scrapped. It handicaps those who fess up to [b][i]mechanical errors[/i][/b]

Micheal seems to have recorded the cards in his own hand and dummy; then recorded the auction and play (call by call, and card by card, explaining his reasoning at every step). A secretary bird ...
- Voting for new KBA name
- Of the given options, I prefer 'Bridge -- a Mind Sport for All' Better still might be 'Bridge - Partnership Brain Game.' or, influenced by Sam's later comments ... '[b][i]Bridge - Partnership Brain Sport'[/i][/b]. IMO, what makes Bridge [b][i]sociologically[/i][/b] interesting is [b][i]partnership co-operation ...
- A Bart Bramley Story
- Belated Congratulations, Michael Rosenberg, Bart Bramley, Eric Rodwell, Cezary Balicki -- and of course -- Pietro Bernasconi! I took an hour to solve the problem, posted above (Thank you, Michael Xu!)) -- although I enjoy composing and trying to solve exotic single-dummy problems.
