- Retired Justice John Paul Stevens, Associate Justice, SCOTUS
- Neat story Jeff, thanks for sharing! Looks like you showed that us citizens were very appreciative of Justice Stevens service to our country. I did not know that I was only two degrees of separation from a Supreme Court Justice!
- Thanks, Fred Gitelman
- Thank you Fred! I got a chance to play vs. you once in a Vanderbilt about 10 years ago(?), after the match I think I verbally told you how much I appreciate BBO, or at least I hope so. I love watching Vugraph of nationals and world championships! Because of ...

- Nice ♥K unblock! Glad we didn't play this hand vs. you!
- 5-5 Major Hand After Partner Opens 2NT
- Partner had ♠AQ ♥A3 ♦Q973 ♣AKJ85. On this hand, the winning contracts are 4♥ or 3NT. See Board #5 of http://thecommongame.com/NitePDF/190516NiteHandRecord.pdf for the entire layout. Like 88/100 people so far, I chose to show my 5-5 game-only hand by bidding 3♥ and ...

- Mark Chen's lead problem: J3 Q 8654 A87532
- Partner had xx A53 AKJx QJxx. Declarer was 6-6 in the majors with a stiff diamond. The winning defense was HQ to HA, heart ruff, diamond to the K, another heart ruff. I unfortunately led a diamond and Declarer made 4H. Everybody on the poll did better than me on ...
- Mark Chen's lead problem: 42 A732 T95 AJ83
- Probably seemed like a boring problem, I thought a diamond lead was called for also. Survey has ♦T(25), ♦5(1), and ♠2(3). The layout is Board #8 at http://clubresults.acbl.org/Results/139386/2019/01/190124E.HTM. On this hand, the ♥A lead is needed. Poll seems ...
- Attitude or Count Signal?
- Thanks all, got lots of replies to this post, some relevant and some on a tangent. Declarer had ♠Jx ♥KQT9x ♦x ♣AKTxx and was cold after winning the ♠A, cashing ♣Q, and leading to her ♥T. Partner had ♠KQ9xx ♥A ♦AQxx ♣Jxx, won his ♥A, and then underled in spades ...
- Mark Chen's bidding problem: K52 AQ4 A953 K53
- As of now there are 25 passers and 9 1NT bidders. LHO opened light with ♠xx ♥KTx ♦KJxx ♣Axxx, RHO stole from us by bidding 1♠ with ♠JTxxx ♥Jxx ♦Txxx ♣x. The Opponents bid uncontested 1♦-1♠-1NT-2♣!-2♦ (2♣ is an invite or a diamond ...
