- [quote="Ray Yuenger"]'If we assume that S provided UI about possessing the ♦ ace, setting aside the arguable AI, could N have ethically made a ♦ lead? There seems to be an assumption underlying some comments that it can be ethical to violate Law 16B'[/quote] Assuming Ray's question (asked ...

- Usually, in practice, players adopt Ray Yuenger's interpretation of disclosure laws and regulations. IMO, it's a pity that an interpretation like that of Bruce Evans is so unpopular. Whatever their meaning, even basic rules e.g. about convention-cards are widely flouted and rarely enforced. It's sad that ...

- The bit was established but its length was disputed. We aren't told how long after his 7N bid, that East made his remark, except that it was made while waiting for the tray.
