The LIN format predates BBO, Fred used it for Vugraphs and hand presentations before that, perhaps mid 90s, maybe before that. Bridge Base (NOT Online) was founded in 1990.

the first thing it asks is a name and a timespan, defaults to the last 2 days and can be expanded to a month per query.

Search looks into the Real name GIVEN to BBO. (Edit: People -> Search) There is no guarantee the World Class player(s) you are looking for had attached their real name to their BBO ID. (It should be there if they asked for a star, however this is optative).

I'm told iOS devices require the App to have permission to use the microphone. "go to Settings > Bridge Base app and check for Mic perm" It did work with this permission turned on.

The Flash client lists tournaments to start in the next 2 hours, always did. In fact, Flash and HTML5 clients use the same way to get the tourney list. If you mean the Windows client, then yes, it did list tourneys for the next week. On chat: To table is the default if you didn't chat in this session. If you did, it does remember the destination for your last chat. The current intended recipient is in the blue button in the chat line, click on it to get a menu of alternative recipients.

OK. I'll be clearer. The "paid for" part of the statement makes it false. TCR is used of a measure of disruptiveness. Failing to complete daylong type tournaments (or any robot tournament) disrupts no one, so they are not counted towards TCR. Douglas43 played 3 human tournaments in the last 60 days (by the time of my last post, I didn't check again) and finished all 3.

The newest one. Both partners see it as the partnership's CC

False. ALL tournaments are counted. Last 60 days only. Needs 10 tourneys to be meaningful. In your case: 3 finished tourney, none unfinished. Play in 7 more, you'll havve meaningful TCR. Finish those 7, and your TCR would be 100%. They will eventually stop to be counted, when they are older than 60 days.

People -> Search -> ACBL_ Pick one with the green dot (those are online).

Similarly in Argentina in 2004: República Cromañón nightclub fire

Seconds after cancellation, at most.

Yes, any cancellation of a tourney triggers the refunding of any fees related to that tourney.

But if the awful break is in Diamonds (say, 6-0 or 7-0, even if partner hand the ♦Q) 7♦ is unlikely to be a good place to be.

Excerpt of Law 12: 2.(a) When owing to an irregularity no result can be obtained [see also C1(d)], the Director awards an artificial adjusted score according to responsibility for the irregularity: average minus (at most 40% of the available matchpoints in pairs) to a contestant directly at fault, average (50% in pairs) to a contestant only partly at fault, and average plus (at least 60% in pairs) to a contestant in no way at fault.

Please quote said ACBL rules. That would be equivalent to a No Play, which is NOT a legal result.

One of three: Either of you were: Disconnected OROtherwise engaged (another tourney, a teaching table, not sure if others qualify) OR Not able to cover the feeIn your case, you were disconnected at 4:15, and connected seconds after, but by then the call for you had been made, found absent, so your pair was dropped from the tourney (and no fees collected, of course)

When you save it, you have to put your partner's name. (S)he then would see it in their own list, under your name.

Did this before, it should work.

The story is a stretch, and she rose very fast (win all games state champ at first try?). There is a significant list of children/teenagers with outstanding results, so not THAT much of a stretch. But the youngest World Champion was 22 when he got the title. Of course, beating the World Champion in a game, while quite an achievement, doesn't make you World Champion. The games in the show are replays of actual games. The adjournement (by the way, killed by the rise of the computers as players and analyzers) scenes were spot on. Players getting their rest while teams of people analyze the position and present their finding to the player. The Soviets had the upper hand here, in quality and quantity. The book is based on an early 1980s novel by Walter Tevis, so missed the rise of the computers. I was interested in the show as a chess amateur patzer, but it was quite good in general. The protagonist was superb. Small peeve: The mexican commentator naming the chess piece "caballero", which is a literal translation of "knight" but does NOT apply here, correct translation being "caballo" (horse).

Polish: Król, Dama, Walet. Taken from French, same as suit names (Pik, Kier, Karo, Trefl). King is translated, and Polish has no V. KQW would be quite unlikely, they can go Polish with KDW or English (they use NSEW as names for North and South have the same initial, and so do the names for East and West) with KQJ.

I see your "quite unusual surname" and raise you a "unusual first name, really unique when paired" :). I think there is at least a match if you translate my first name, but if not, it would take a few steps to repeat.

MyHands Change the base date and the date range to cover what you want. For example: your hands in September

Welcome to the Forums! There is no rigorous rating system. Two main reasons IMO: The main competitive unit is the pair, not the invididual (except for individual contests, where you switch partners each round). So it would make more sense to rate pairs rather than individuals.Incomplete information: The best play in a vacuum looking at the available half of the deck, may fail on any given hand due to the distribution of the hidden half of the deck. So who is better? The one who made the best play, or the one who got a better result? Also, a social one:Sites with public rating saw people relunctant to partner other people with (much) worse rating.

You say this was in an environment where there was a TD available. Did you call him/her, and explained the situation?
