Can't help noting that for the second time in two weeks Pete Hollands momentarily lost sight of the fact that Declarer was in the North on the weekly free tournament, card pictures, Human Declare, Best Hand. Went on for a while trying to understand the robot defense and then the penny dropped. "Shame on me.", he said, and on me too for the several times I have done it. I'll try harder util help arrives.

In case this hasn't arisen before -- when declaring there is usually no prominent distinction between the dummy and the declarer's hand. In f2f bridge declarer's hand is automatically invisible to the defenders and plans are made accordingly. On BBO one can lose sight of that, at least I do. And yesterday I saw Peter Hollands mulling over his plan of play in one of his videos and then suddenly say that, oh, that's the concealed hand so they can't see that holding. A labeling of the hands as "dummy" and "concealed" would mostly fix that.

Clicking on the small box showing the contract causes the bidding to reappear in a momentary box. Clickin on that box restores the screen. Or so I recall. Ted Fulton (tedf)
