This problem is most likely caused by wrong network settings, especially when a DSL connection is involved. Please give some details about the type of connection and the operating system, I will then give you some pointers (links) to newsgroups articles dealing with that problem. If you like, you may visit http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=en and search for "20 minutes disconnect" or something similar. Regards Andreas

Who is going check whether I really know, let's say, Acol & RKCB? What shall happen if it turns out I don't know? Andreas

Hi @ll, one need not be a great typist to explain a bid in due time. Simply prepare a text file which contains the system notes, open it in the background, then transmit the relevant explanation via LHO/RHO chat using "Copy & Paste". Large text passages must not contain line breaks (CR/LF, a.k.a. ENTER) - chat text will be displayed only up to the first line break. Regards Andreas

Hi, It seems your problem has nothing to do with the BBO software itself - it is either a message from a personal firewall (if you have installed such a beast :) ), or some Adware or Spyware found its place on your computer. If it's the firewall thing, adjust the firewall settings to always allow connection to BBO without any further confirmation. Should it be some Adware or Spyware, download and install a) SpybotSD and :) Ad-aware and run these programs to get rid of the annoying message/s.

Hi, This one is a bit unclear to me. What do you mean by "spam"? Is it some text, or a message box, or something else? Please give some more details. Regards Andreas

The best solution IMHO - seconded. Andreas

Luis - I really appreciated all your previous posts but here I must disagree. From the Bulletin: "Lauria’s partner had left the table after putting down the dummy, so Lauria was playing the cards himself. Lauria apparently expected Soloway to cash his winning heart, so he pulled the S7 from dummy". 1) Lauria played the card HIMSELF 2) Why blame Hamman? and 3) Why the <anything> had the dummy left the table during the last hand of such an event? Incredible.

Nice idea - seconded Andreas

Here's the transscript of Fred's comments for board #9 - ENJOY! fred->Kibitzers: ok on to the next hand fred->Kibitzers: i can tell my opponents can make game here (very likely at least) fred->Kibitzers: given my partner's weak 2-bid fred->Kibitzers: and i want to make it hard for them fred->Kibitzers: passing will not make it hard fred->Kibitzers: i could bid 3!H or 4!H fred->Kibitzers: of course I know we will go down fred->Kibitzers: but if we get doubled and play there, at least the vul is perfect for this fred->Kibitzers: i could also try to be tricky fred->Kibitzers: and bid 3NT or something - of course I will run if i am doubled fred->Kibitzers: and if i am not doubled, then i don't care how much i go down! fred->Kibitzers: i think i am going to try this and see what happens - maybe my opps will believe me :P fred->Kibitzers: note that it does not matter if i trick my partner fred->Kibitzers: he has preempted so i am in control... fred->Kibitzers: this may have worked :P fred: ty partner! fred->Kibitzers: so it looks like the opps have 3NT fred->Kibitzers: and will score +600 or better there fred->Kibitzers: even if i go down 9 that is only -450 fred->Kibitzers: and i am sure i will take at least 1 trick :P fred: ty wayne - may need some luck :) fred->Kibitzers: i wonder if the opps know yet that i was just kidding :) fred->Kibitzers: hope they take their spades now :) fred->Kibitzers: I suspect inquiry still has the guarded !DQ, but I am not sure fred: perhaps i shouldn't have discarded a diamond fred->Kibitzers: since i am going down 5 or so it appears, i am not going to think too much about this... fred->Kibitzers: now let's see how many of the tables bid and made game... fred->Kibitzers: excellent!

I miss that feature, too. Seconded.

Good idea! Seconded.

Or, even better, hide news unless there are new news ;)
