Version 3.9.8 Available for Testing
ack_hh replied to fred's topic in BBO Announcements and Special Events
Confirmed. -
I was sitting at a table with my p, no opps present. I left the table at the same moment as my p. I was in the lobby and received the "xxx has left ... you are host" message. Confirmed that message, clicked "Back" twice. Stopped the client via "X" --> IPF

Imps, cross-imps, and 23 paradox...

The BBO client window on my computer is located on the right hand side of the desktop, so that part of the left side of the desktop is still visible. When I "mouse over" an entry in the leftmost column of the player in the lobby and then move the mouse pointer to the left - leaving the BBO window - the mouse-over text is NOT cleared. The text is cleared only when I hit any other area of the BBO window again.

Organizing system notes
ack_hh replied to LukeG's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
Simply put a folder shortcut on the desktop; the folder contains system notes for each partner (text files). You may wish to have a look at the Pricelessware (freeware) organizer section pricelessware organizers. Others have set up web pages - one for each partner. -
Please put the Table number in front of the tourney title (in the Windows title bar). That way, players and kibs can easily see the current position in a tourney.

I still get IPFs from time to time. It seems these crashes always happen when i'm sitting at a table, a hand is finished, and opps are using table chat then - but these conditions are hard to track or reproduce. BTW, the "white screen" thing has never occured here.
-
things are getting worse :( version 3.9.6 crashed with an IPF while I was sitting at a table but doing nothing (hand was finished, movie update was OK)
-
1) Nice idea 2) www.bridgebase.com/forums isn't hard to remember :)
-
From time to time I get an IPF (KERNEL32.DLL) when the BBO client is closed via the "X"-button. W98 - IE 5.5

No, the filter is not related to the chat settings. It refers to the "View" settings (filter by skill level, language, view full/empty tables, etc.)

irunin.lng is a language/localization file (as the filename extension suggests), and it's a pure text file as one can see when the file is loaded into any text editor. The file is dated 2002, so it is not updated or written to recently - hardly a spyware related item.

Use CTRL-R to Reply to the last message you have received.

Say "last hand, thx all", finish the hand, leave the table and ask your p to follow you.

I love this idea.

1) Some TDs do it to prevent cheating 2) That would be similar to "security by obscurity" - it simply does not work.

Introduction to squeeze plays
ack_hh replied to inquiry's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
11 top tricks - 3 ♠, 3 ♥, 2 ♦, 3 ♣ Threats: 4th ♠ or 4th ♣ If West holds 4-4 in the black suits (we already know he has 4 clubs) he will be squeezed after 6 rounds of red suits. We have 5 top tricks in the red suits, so we will have to concede one trick (in diamonds), thus rectifying the count. Line of play: Exit with a low diamond. 1) If opps return a spade, cash 2 diamond tricks (discarding ♣ from South), then 3 heart tricks, ending in South. If West discards a spade, cash 2 spades (South) and the remaining club from dummy. If West discards a club, cash Q♠ and the remaining clubs in dummy. 2) If opps return a heart, cash 2 diamond tricks (discarding ♣ from South), then 2 heart tricks, ending in South. If West discards a spade, cash 3 spades (South) and the remaining club from dummy. If West discards a club, cash the remaining clubs in dummy, then cash spades. 3) If opps return a diamond --> 1) 4) If opps return a club, cash 2 diamond tricks (discarding ♣ from South), then 3 heart tricks, ending in dummy. If West discards a spade, cash 3 spades (South). If West discards a club, cash the remaining club in dummy, then cash spades. Hope I got it right :D -

On which date?

Or, even better, give the limit in number of tables, and let the software do the math.

Log in is significantly faster (DSL). Well done! Regarding the news window: A first/previous/next/last link would be nice.
