PLINX ( A game for your mind... Flash Games) by light force games... try it :huh: you'll like it.... Ohhh the ipod!!! and all its accessories!! love it! :)

Someone was told off because they alerted 2♣, i was told off when I didn't alert it and I can understand why.... if it's non promisory stayman, then it must be alerted! When i first played in UK, i alerted 1nt as weak, and was told off!!! Well, not exactly told off, but laughed at :D Seems very natural to open weak NT in UK... i guess one needs to alert normal NT openings there :( Quite confusing... Having said that ( Simon Cowell quote.. hehe ) best to alert pretty much everything on BBO... Aisha :rolleyes: ALERT!

OK i'll alert! :D I suppose I got into a bad habit of not doing so, since most play it as Jacoby transfers! it's good info to know for future bidding, i sure wouldnt want to be punished for not alerting! Does this mean that if opponents don't alert tranfers I can ummmm complain, ask for adustment? I have not seen a Jacoby transfer alerted for ages! Good to know though.. for future bids :D And i apologyze to TD for doubting him/her... he/she was doing his/her job, i just dont like to be picked on, as i know I am not the only player on BBO who doesn't alert these sorts of transfers.. and i am not " a player" ............. to be discussed in kibb gallery! :) Aisha

Hi everyone; I played in a turney on bbo a few nights ago, and someone, whom I assume was TD, told me that a transfer to majors after 1nt opening is alertable by me.... my reply was, that I hadn't realized that. The next evening that same TD commented to kibbers that "a player" didnt KNOW that transfers were alertable. First of all, there is a big difference between "i didnt realize"and "i didnt know"; but thats besides the point.... I always alert minor transfers, as everyone plays them differently, and some don't play them at all... I asked a few friends who said they were NOT alertable.Someone checked ACBL rules, and YES they are alertable.... the TD was from the US, so I can undertand why he expected me to alert my transfer.. but I was not playing an ACBL turney. What I want to know, is what are BBO rules in regards to major suit transfers... are they alertable? If they are, then many of us are in the dark about this, if they are not, then TD's should be informed about BBO rules. Thank you and Regards, Aisha

sorry Matt, didnt notice there were 2 symbols for the Hearts a black and a a red....... thats why you misundersood.. i do apologize ;) aisha P.s. fixed it now

would be nice to be able to ruff ♠ The only problem is spades are trumps READ POST MATT!!..so unles the rules of duplicate bridge have changed dramatically since about 4PM this afternoon... happy ♥ day

How would you play this hand? [hv=d=n&v=e&n=skt943hakqt73dkc3&s=sq852h8d6532cq972]133|200|Scoring: IMP[/hv] bidding goes: N: 1♥ E: X S: P W:2♣ N: X E: 2♦ S:2 ♠ N: 4♠ E:X K♣ lead RHO discarding Q ♦!!! small ♣continuation, partner discarding K♦ as RHO ruffs with 6 ad returns A♦. Now what? Whats your plan? Partner was accused of cheating for making this... (supposedely a kibber telling him where cards lie) IMHO he played it like a pro ( but i am biased) ;) Your comment are appreciated ty:) Aisha PS actually showed all hands but removed EW but making it a play problem i guess :)

Hi everyone, and a happy 2006! I haven't posted here for quite sometime, so I thought this would be an amusing story to share with all of you :) Enjoy: A doctor is called away from a bridge tournament to attend to an emergency. There is still the last board to play. They ask a kibitzer to take his place, although he knows nothing about the game. They tell him "Just bid what you have got and follow suit". He, sitting South, thereupon starts the following bidding sequence: South West North East 1C pass 2H pass 2S pass 3C pass 3H pass 4NT pass 7D Dbl pass! pass pass This is the deal NORTH S - A9 H - AKQ65 D - AK C - Q 10 54 WEST EAST S - K Q 10 8 S - 76542 H - J 10 97 H - 8 D - Q 10 D - J9 C - K J 8 C - 987632 SOUTH S - J3 H - 432 D - 8765432 C - A South took the lead of the king of spades with the ace, cashed the ace and king of trumps, came to hand with the ace of clubs and played all his diamonds. On the last one, West was hopelessly squeezed in hearts and spades, and ultimately discarded a heart, whereupon South made the last four tricks in hearts. When the opposition saw South's hand, they called the director, who asked for an explanation of the bidding, and got the following reply: "I was told to bid what I have got, and I have one club, two spades, 3 hearts and 7 diamonds!" I loved it :) Aisha

Wow! I came on forums to ask about that very same thing... It started happening to me yesterday, i was away from my computer and it logged me off.. yesterday and this morning i also got the prompt asking me, while i was kibbing.. I thought maybe it was due to BBO being too crowded because of vugraph... I'd love to know why this is happening Thank you.. ;) Aisha

hey mandy, i told you not to give up, there is always a solution! Thank you Fred and Ben, i was losing a very special partner :lol: Regards, Aisha

Hi Fred and Ben; I will tell her to try the things you told me about..... oh i didnt meand she CANT play, i mean she cant have the lobby showing and play or kibb, only because of appearance of chat window (i was trying to describe that this happens when playing or kibbing, not from lobby) Regards, Aisha

Someone please help me help a friend :blink: I know this was discussed on another thread but i just cant seem to find it, so i apologize for having you repeat the solution :( My friend downloaded 4.3.9 and now she cannot play or kibb, and have lobby showing without the chat window having only 2 lines to write on.... i told her to try restoring defaults, uninstalling and reinstalling.....and somehow we were unable to fix her problem... i know others had similar problems and all were able to fix it someway or another... she is under stress and feels her life has been ruined <_< Please helppppp Thank you very much Aisha P.S. her resolution is fine also

Tried GIB in main BC and claim button seems to work fine, and GIB knows when to reject even :o Regards, Aisha

Hi Pigpenz; I know and understand very well about members having connection problems, even TD's :( I did have TD as a friend, and could see him/her in lobby on BRB... so maybe he/she went to run a few errands and forgot about the turney.... :) Regards, Aisha

It's dark blue now! Azure! I like it, perfect, thank you Fred, now i dont have an excuse to misclick:( Aisha :rolleyes:

Hello (to whom this may concern) If this has been adressed already, just ignore :) Yesterday, I noticed that cards were white with the globe... of course as usual, it was the topic of conversation for a little while.... after getting disconnected :) i get back on, and now the cards have turned blue! (it was a matter of seconds) anyway, later on we realized that everybody's cards were now blue, which was much better than the white... something about them being white was affecting my bidding, defense and declarer play ;) All jokes put aside, is there anyway we could have a choice of which colour cards we can use? I find that the blue somehow blends in too much with the green felt table.... maybe a red would be nice :)) I heard a few people complain about this, not too many though, but maybe some input can be given after this post... Just a suggestion of course, as eventually we will get used to this. Regards, Aisha :)

Thank you Jimmy, you're the only one who does...

I'll wish Ben a happy birthday in Turkish: Dogum gunun kutlu ve mutlu olsun.... Where's the party? ;) And if you want to join the cimcimclub.... you can be Bencim too :D (birthday gift from all the bbo cimcims:)))) Aisha

I tried to go on that site, but got a blank page ;)

My partner and I just finished playing a turney " August 1st " (title)..... contract was Xed... players were slow, time was running out, so I claimed 9 sure tricks, even though it was +1... opponents rejected claim...TIME RAN OUT!! We supposedely got an average (i..e score for opps) i dont really understand averages in IMPS, but we lost on that board... (not that i care about scores.... big lie ;) )we tried to call TD by private message, but he/she was on brb... no reply.. we tried to call thru TD button, nobody came to our rescue :D A few players needed subs, but none available... finally a yellow came to the rescue and found subs... but he couldnt ajust, and we didnt ask, nor expected him to... People complain about playing TD's, but that is the choice they make when they register, IF they read the tournament rules... I read the rules very carefully and i saw nothing that said "no TD available for this turney"... I have never come across this on BBO... IMO this TD should be warned not to run turneys if he/she is not going to be available.. Just venting off here :)) Thanks, Aisha
