Anyway it does not work from the office because of port 81 ! ;) Would it be possible to have the files available on a "normal" port 80 address ?? :) (same for old tournaments page!)

Lolllllllllllllllllllllllllll Tx a lot, Nikos !

What is the URL of that page (I'm at work, can go on the web but not on BBO ! B) ) Once again, Tx a lot to Fred and BBO staff for that great feature !

So, I would be able to transform myself in a beautiful blonde ! lol

I don't like to tell the opps that my preempts are bad :)

I don't agree with that ! I also use 3NT as a 4 level preempt in minor but the goal is not to allow a pass by partner because the suit is usually bad ! With a constructive minor preempt that can lead to 3NT I open 3 of the minor ! I really find the idea of Phil interesting ! Tx :) :unsure: Alain

Same for me :)

1st and 2nd seat, my prempts are very disciplined and promise 7 card quit with 2 of the big honours ! So I will not open that ! By the way, vul, you can go for a lot with that garbage ! :)

Totally agree ! Don't understand the xx ????? When will you bid 4♠ if you don't do it with that :)

;) Correct me if I'm wrong but : if this is "bid your major", your partner will be on lead and so "lead directing" isn't stupid If this is transfer then it's stupid ! :)

Pass at MP's 2♣ at IMP's ;)

And that is reinforced by the fact that you have stopper and length in the weak two to bid NT, of course !

1♥/♠ (X) ? What do you do with 7-9 HCP (assuming you RDL with more) no ♥ fit which is the natural bid of 1NT ????

19 HCP and a 6th suit ! To avoid problems in rebid, I would open 2NT (♥K protected, lol). The only disadvantage of this is that it would be more difficult to discover 6♣ but maybe I can jump there later if partner shows slam interest

Totally agree and I NEVER (well nearly) fit my partner with 3 cards ! A fit is 8 cards and when partial contracts will play well in 7 cards fit, it is not the same for game or slam contracts ! When you are shortened in a 4-3 fit, the contracts are doomed most of the times ! If you always raise with 3 cards, you never know where you are !

As a great fan of the BBO Vugraph, I'm really looking forward to see the main changes and improvements done in that matter ! Thanks a lot for all your work, Fred ! :)

:) Partner had to verify your ♥ stopper !

Pass (as quick as possible ! <_< :) )

Every expert (and non expert I would say) knows that aces are far more efficient than any other cards ! B) :P

1 NT (no stopper guaranteed!) To Free : If 3 aces are not an opening, what kind of 12 HCP do you open ?? :)

Same for me : playing Namyats I pass and without Namyats I bid 5♥ asking partner for good trumps !

Totally agree with you Stefan ! ;) Alain

Same for me : 1♦

Agree with you but I assume that partner is not able to judge himself because there are a lot of weak hands that lead to game, so I just bid it ! :P

Partner has passed so 4♠, what else ??
