It's because of the leading "1" in your nick name. This causes you to be the very first in the list of players (in the chat dialog window) sometimes. The same happens to me because my name starts with an "a", thus being on top of the yellows' list. Unless 7me is online. :(

Good news! Brian is still up and running (as opposed to his PC) :lol: He has not had a computer available because lightning killed the one he had.

Right-click your name, select "Edit your profile", then activate "Kibitz partner when dummy" in the "Kibitzing" section.

BBO client version 4.5.4, OS = W98 When I try to watch a chinese vugraph session, the client aborts with a IPF in KERNEL32 immediately after entering the room (players' names get displayed, but no hands). Could it have something to do with the "strange" characters used for the session name and the players' names?

1) It would be nice if team games were easier to arrange 2) It would be nice if the teams get "swapped" after half of the boards played 3) It would be nice if players were allowed to finish a board in the MBC

REVERSE = rebid of a new suit higher than the first one AND which has been *denied* by partner. Partner has not denied hearts, so it's not a reverse.

IMHO, the first question is: Is there a partnership agreement?

:D

Wrong place. Or wrong order. ;)

With Lavinthal agreed upon, I pitch the 9 of diamonds to encourage partner to continue spades.

Your partner - the one who bid the suit in first place.

What am I missing? I see 12 tricks: 2 clubs, 2 diamonds, 5 hearts, 2 spades, 1 spade ruff.

Once in a local club: Player1: You should have taken opps' second diamond trick! Player2: I couldn't. Player1: We could have set that 3 NT if you'd only took that trick! Player2: I couldn't. Player1: Why didn't you overtake declarer's second diamond card? Player2: I couldn't - it was the ace of diamonds. Player1: ... Player1: ... then you should have used the cardinal of diamonds.

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, sometimes called the Heisenberg indeterminacy principle (a title prefered by Niels Bohr), expresses a limitation on accuracy of (nearly) simultaneous measurement of observables such as the shape and the strength of a hand.

The table becomes visible for a player if a seat is reserved.

This will only happen when you rejoin the table as kib first instead of directly taking your seat again.

Did you set the proper timezone / DST in "My Controls" - "Board Settings"?

Simply enter "dealmaster" in Google or try www.dealmaster.com

IMHO a link to the MYHANDS web page in the tourney lobby would be useful.

Why do play bots with humans? :)

IMHO, the reasons are: - setting up and uploading tournament rules is not as simple and intuitive as it could/should be - one does not know if tournament rules exist for the chosen tournament. After checking the third tournament, just to discover this one, too, has no rules posted, motivation to look for rules on the fourth tourney has gone - so, people don't read the rules because they do not expect to find (updated) rules, and hosts do not post or update the rules because nobody is reading them

Ivory Coast - ivory.bmp is missing.

It would be nice to have a filter to include/exclude tables with GIBs.

When selecting "display empty seats", tables with reserved seats are being displayed also.

As to my experience, PayPal does not spam, at least in in Europe. And I can not see any references to BBO in that mail - it's clearly related to eBay. Lastly, the e-mail HEADER would be most interesting ...
