  1. 1) We played them in 5♣ (opened) + 1 (IIRC ♦ lead), and 6♥= 2) We played 11 and 12 against you that session, I wanted to say hi, sorry I didn't recognize you. 3) I once had 11 ♠ missing two Xs, ♥Kx twice, 3 weeks apart, 2 basically home games (2 tables/1 table), dealt at table, different venues, never again.
  2. 1. It certainly works, but gib is not available. 2. It should work, with a suitable compiler and proper DDS header files.
  3. "GIB's double-dummy engine would not be available in that environment." The operative phrase there is double-dummy engine, not GIB. A suitable double-dummy engine, libdds, IS available. In a Debian based environment (Debian, Ubuntu, etc), including WSL: git clone -b dds https://github.com/GerMalaz/dealer.git then follow the instructions in the README.md file. (they include patching and compiling code). The resulting dealer will use DDS for the tricks() function, instead of the unavailable GIB. The Windows environment can do similarly, with a suitable compiler and DDS installed. (and a corresponsing code change, the true_dd function can probably call DDS in all environments).
  4. No. "tricks(compass, strain) Runs GIB's double-dummy engine (BRIDGE under Linux, BRIDGE.EXE under Windows/NT or /98), which must be present on the path or in the same directory as the Dealer executable (together with, on Windows, SH.EXE and CYGWIN.DLL from Cygnus' free Cygwin package; this latter is not necessary in Paul Baxter's version), to compute the number of tricks that, at double-dummy par, will be taken by the given declarer in the given strain (suit or notrumps)." GIB's double-dummy engine would not be available in that environment.
  5. As the 3♠ bidders above, can find about some of ♣K, ♦A, ♠A, before asking KCs
  6. Ciao Mauro, nice to see you back! Because of your post, I noticed the page where the dealer sources used to be was taken down. I asked Mr. Uijterwaal if there is a working one. Meanwhile, as usual, am using ones from Debian packages for dealer, where (I believe) latest published sources can be found. I compiled these in Linux without issues, what are yours? The "Deal Source" (where available, Teaching and Practice tables) Advanced tab lets you paste and use most dealer scripts, In particular, Paul's above.
  7. The book has 21 chapters. The movie is based on the first 20.
  8. You are not quite the average American. Remember, Republicans don't win the popular vote since 2004. Hopefully you will be FAR FAR FAR removed, over time. And the answer to the question is so far removed from your capabilities, that no matter how it is explained to you, you wouldn't understand it. Here's a start, though:
  9. When you click in a Daylong, it tells you start and expiration time. It uses whatever timezone is local to you. I usually see 2:05-1:59:59 from Atlantic Canada (1 hour ahead of US Eastern), currently UTC-3. Same Daylong tells me 7:05-6:59:59 if I tell the browser to use Europe/Paris, currently Central European Summer Time, UTC+2.
  10. While doesn't seem to be the case here, the answer to South's question may affect his/her bid (for example, may double with long ♣ if 2♣ is a single suited hand). May be a not good bid, but that's irrelevant. If so, it is a valid question, alerted or not. It may transmit UI, that's not an infraction. *Using* UI is an infraction, so North may have an issue. Is South supposed to assume 2♣ is natural, and get redress if not, or just ask in doubt?
  11. In any case, if opp has an issue should call the Director. No matter what qualifications player has as player, director, or teacher, when s/he is playing, s/he is NOT directing. So either s/he call the director, or you should do when s/he started.
  12. 2-way NMF and XYNT are two names for the same thing (XYNT = 1x : 1y : 1NT, all by the same side) XYZ applies to all 1x : 1y : 1z, any 3 bids at the 1 level
  13. BBOHelper has two options "Automatically insert ! for cards, bids and suits in chat window" "Automatically insert ! for cards, bids and suits in claim window" I just disabled them. Thanks Thorvald!
  14. So, in your own worldview, you don't have more common sense than an eggplant. Small agreements.
  15. This is misleading, as was the OP. Your current TCR is 77. It hasn't been 82 in almost a month now.
  16. 10 days ago: total,592 finished,468 tcr,79 18 days ago: (latest it was 82) total,695 finished,567 tcr,82 Today: total,477 finished,371 tcr,78 all this, as usual, counting the last 60 days at the time, recalculated daily.
  17. There is only one source for .hv_frame, currently named: https://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_css/css_15/bbo_handviewer.css (name might change in the future). If you are seeing .hv_frame, it is defined here, there is no separate definition for mobile. It might be using a different version of this file though. I just ensured all sources for this file are sync'ed with the max-width content added. If you don't see it in your device, try reloading this file. If still having issues, yell.
  18. .hv_frame { border: 0; float: left; padding-right: 0.2em; /* Separate diagram from text */ padding-top: 0.4em; /* Separate one diagram from another */ max-width:100%; }
