- Congrats Alex Perlin!
- Big thanks to Steve and everyone else for so many kind words. I was very lucky to come in first in a robot tournament, but I am luckier still to have so many good friends!
- Should you duck Kx?
- This board is among my top 3 regrets from Philadelphia. I finally figured out why I should have covered the club two seconds after I had ducked it ;) Partner opened a preempt on a 5-bagger. North was not going to have honor fourth in a major on the side. In ...
- What is going on?
- This is what happens, when after an auction P - 2N; 6N - 7N a panel of experts is required to choose the worst bid.
- Balicki-Zmudzinski May Play Freely in EBL!
- It is going to pain me to write this comment. I used to really like Adam Z. He was fun to kibitz and for 3 years between 2012 and 2015 I thought I could learn something from him. Nevertheless, I would be remiss not to point out a fundamental data ...
- Have you ever seen this auction before?
- I perpetrated this auction (1♥) - 4♥ on board 16 of the 2nd final of Blue Ribbon Pairs in Denver 2015. At the time we played this call as showing 6 spades, a 5 card minor and enough playing strength to be in game. While my hand roughly matched ...

- For avoidance of ambiguity, I find the tone and language of the OP and subsequent comments by the same person completely unacceptable. My call for taking the high road is a statement that when we deal with confrontational posts like that, we can and should treat third parties with proper ...
- Horrible ruling : Daily Bulletin March 17, page 9
- EW partnership are friends of mine. I frequently challenge them for online matches, because they are nice people who generally play sound and occasionally inspired bridge right down the middle. It is a great practice for national events. I have been playing in tournaments for about 18 years. Never in ...
- Digging the spade suit
- Partner and I discussed this one with a small variation that LHO actually raised to 4D. We thought declarer should play a spade to the ace. Assume both follow low. Then play HA, DA tossing H from dummy, HK, club from dummy to the ace in hand, then exit spade ...
- Reisinger Gems
- That was memorable. Having scored only 7.5 in the first session, I was just hoping, maybe, we could improve a bit and cobble together a semblance of a decent set. First board out of the box we bid 1N-3N like we are supposed to. And then we get this ...
- Swings and other matters
- Hello Henry, All of us have seen many individual boards that exhibited low variation of results, perhaps, a long string of 420s and 450s or a partscore hand with results ranging from -50 to +110. A swiss match can certainly be composed of two such low variance hands and five ...
