Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- UPS Convention
- I wrote an article, "Denial Stayman", for Bridge Today back in 1990s, which enables 1NT responder to show all his 4+-card suits and his shortness (if he has one). Anybody interested please PM me.
- How to bid 7!C?
- A variant of Relay Precision: 2♣(10-15, 6+♣ ) - 2♦ (relay) 2NT (10-12, 6♣-4♠) - 3♦ (relay) 4♣ (10-12, 4-0-2-7) - 4♥ (RKCB in ♣) 5♦ (2 with ♣Q, no ♠K) - 5♠ (♣J?) 6♣ (♣J, no ♠Q) - 7♣ If minors are ...
- ATB: Letting through a game
- Sorry, never mind. Just noticed that Richard's example hand would produce a 6♦ slam. Not that I know how to get there (or even should be there.) except opening 6♦. :) I was writing something, then realized that I was just arguing for arguing sake. I meant to ...

- 6♦?
- ATB: Letting through a game
- I was thinking that after seeing West's ♥9 and ♥8 (or ♥8 and ♥9), East would play back a ♥ after taking his ♥A over declarer's ♥Q. It does not matter if West has ♥J or ♥10.
- ATB: Letting through a game
- East ducks ♥K at T3?
- How would you bid these hands?
- 6♠ by responder is best - it has an additional chance when ♥ are 4-3 and a non-club lead (setting up the 5th ♥). How to get there is a different matter. Yuan and Michael are close. First, you need an artificial start, like Yuan or Michael did. Then you ...
- MVP
- Nice article. Just wondering why we don't officially select an MVP for Trials, Spingold, or Bermuda Bowl, etc., as in Super Bowl or NBA Finals?
- Spot Cards
- Great hands and analysis, Steve. Just a few comments. For Hand #2, if West is long in diamonds, it is not necessary for declarer to discard a spade (italicized in the text) in dummy. He can pitch a diamond on ♥K, and play three rounds of diamonds later to endplay ...
- Can we bid 6NT...?
- Agreed. The easiest way is perhaps for West to jump rebid 4♦ at his second turn, assuming that the initial strong jump shift is not available. If you use 4♦ to be aces asking (ie Minorwood), that is even better. You can reach 6♦ or 7♦ ...
