I fail to understand the relevance of this reply to my original queries/suggestions. Even as a novice/beginner, I am more than aware that there are several bidding systems in use, as I commented on my first post. Although I didn't mention it on my profile, the system I'm using is Acol based (If I wasn't limited in profile space, I would have said this, but I can't). The Bridge books I have read, the taped TV programmes I've watched and the night school classes I've been attending (to Scottish Bridge Union standards) since late September have all been Acol based. Therefore I play Acol. I know of SAYC and other conventions, but I want to get a better grip of the basics (to local standards) before I start exploring other systems. If the profile space allocated to each and every player could be expanded, then each players individual style(s) of play could be adequately explained without resorting to abbreviating the abbreviations.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've got a couple of suggestions:- 1) - I'm still learning the game, and I've been criticised by more established players for not knowing certain 'styles' or 'conventions' (I dont't know what the correct term is) such as 5-card majors. Would it be possible to have a facility such that at the end of a game, there can be a bit of a post-mortem where all 4 hands are shown, and the 'chat' function can then be used to discuss the game? 2) - The "notes" space allocated to each player is (IMHO) inadequate. When explaining what systems a player is aware of, he/she uses a huge number of abbreviations, most of which I don't know. A larger space, enabling English to be used, would be more than welcome. Nick
