Leaderboard

I created a website that has the aim to show all offline bridgeclubs on a map. It is very simple and has useful filters, like: "the days a club play". Because everyone can contribute, it will become a complete list and it will stay up to date. After covid, clubs may change their playing days, so this is the perfect moment to start this project. For all the bridgers that have learnt the game online, it will be a great tool to find a local club. Or just find a new club in your area or when you are on vacation. Please take a look https://bridgeclubmap.com/ Contribute: Does anybody think of another filter or bridgeclub feature that will be useful? Everyone can add clubs, just click on "Add a bridgeclub", it only takes 1 minute. If you want to become a moderator, please contact me. Jurgen

It's not like this allows you to cash out for 9 tricks while the opps have 5 tricks ready to go if you play on something else. You still need a black suit trick, so it makes zero sense to open up diamonds and create diamond tricks for them while you still have black suit aces to knock out/score past. The natural play is a club, which will at least set up your 9th trick for certain and may set up a tenth depending on where the SA is and how the play continues. I'll comment some on the other hands in separate posts later in the day.

if you have an ace and a king opposite any normal 2♣ (opposed to distributional) opener you should always think in the slam zone except if partner rebids 2nt or you find bad fit. partner to open 2♣ should guarantee minimum of 8.5 tricks in hand alone, and you with a ace and a king have 1.5. if you don not have 12 tricks, then you will have 11 and at worst 10 so you can make small enquiry above 3nt and still land in a makeable contract

I think this is an easy double no matter which system, form of scoring, state of the match or psychedelic influences I might be under. We have an A and a Q more than we promised. Game is easily possible.

This is unlikely - such a hand would almost certainly have done more the previous round. I play mostly IMPs, where you sometimes sacrifice precision in partscores in exchange for improved chances of finding the right game. This looks like a place to apply that principle, and I would expect 4-5 in the majors and some modest values (basically, what mikeh said). There may be an argument for different principles to apply at MPs, but I would expect this understanding to be fairly standard.
