There is a Mike Lawrence's Conventions CD, has been a while, so I don't remember what is inside. There is a bunch of conventions in the CD, but I doubt every other under the sun is, somehow :) Just checked it. Lebensohl is not there. The other you mention, and several others, are. CD the called "Conventions and the judgement to make them work" It is organized on Responding to an Opening Notrump bid (Stayman) More on responding to an Opening Notrump bid Raising Partner Passed hand Bidding Strong Two Club Opening Bid Asking for Aces (BW) Doubles After opponent's takeout double Interfering and coping with Interference (2-suited bids are here) Miscellany CD comes with several hands on each topic, same style as 2/1 CD.

two points: Feb 03 was date of conversion from old forum software, so it gets accounted all new members till that date You didn't list the "Ben" category in number of posts :)

Total Points is Chicago, I think. Just play it in sets of 4 boards.

Happy birthday!

Diamonds are now the proper symbol, so cut and paste should work fine (kgr, looked at Pavlicek's page, suits are graphics, not text). Problem: Some Internet Explorers will see it smaller than the other suits. Why? Don't know :) I installed two Win98 side by side, one sees it fine (this has the font I mentioned above), the other doesn't (this one is fully patched and it has Office XP installed, which has its own set of fonts). However, should be not too hard to fix (I think) once the problem is identified. Also, it should be no more orange squares, only diamonds or smaller diamonds (from now on, older symbols are to stay, at least for now). Is there anyone who do NOT see diamonds on this page? Sorry to the people who see it small (particularly who reported it, DJNEill, jangvik and rona_).

Yes. Currently, survivor tourneys avoid half tables, so 1 pair can be taken, and it will be the the bottom one at the time.

the red dot is exactly that.

♠♥♦♣ ♠♥♦♣ ♠♥♦♣

Ben, what about the black diamond on this page?

That's because currently used symbol is not the diamonds one, due to the size problem, but one similar, which is not included in the font you use. Those who has this problem, please check this page, scroll down looking for "diams". How do you see that symbol?

define "instant" please. (10 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, 2 mins, other?). It is done at start time.

♠♥♦♣ Who does not see this one? Even after downloading font mentioned above? If you DO see it, buzz if size is wrong (maybe too small compared with the others)

If you have problems: Which version of Windows do you have? Which version of Internet Explorer do you have? Do you have Office 2000 or XP installed? Does this Arial font help? [should not be needed for 2000 and XP]

Why rebid 3NT with 18-19 bal when 2NT shows that hand?

To become A, K, Q or J there is no defined quantity needed. You just need more points than the others.

What kind of double is that? If responsive (promising black suits), I like 4♣. ♦ is a very nice SIDE suit. I think that's what bidder thought, but it wasn't (what was it? penalty?). Anyway, agreements are needed.

It works fine, provided you have an available Windows PC around, but usually you can't at all, or just try to avoid that.

Don't hold your breath for now, sorry, need to find a different approach (this one has a fixed number of parameters, so it doesn't work for bidding)

There are four new buttons. LEFTDUMMY and RIGHTDUMMY will likely disappear soon. And the others probably renamed to NORTHSOUTH and EASTWEST at the same time. [hv=w=sxxhxxdxxcxx&s=sxxhxxdxxcxx]266|200|[/hv] [hv=e=sxxhxxdxxcxx&s=sxxhxxdxxcxx]266|200|[/hv] [hv=n=sxxhxxdxxcxx&e=sxxhxxdxxcxx]266|200|[/hv] [hv=n=sxxhxxdxxcxx&w=sxxhxxdxxcxx]266|200|[/hv] Putting the declarer (as 4th parameter) there at this time would likely broke some things, like LinConverter, so not done. Suggestions and comments welcome. SOUTHWEST=?????,????,Unknown,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx][/SOUTHWEST] SOUTHEAST=?????,????,Unknown,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx][/SOUTHEAST] NORTHEAST=?????,????,Unknown,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx][/NORTHEAST] NORTHWEST=?????,????,Unknown,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx][/NORTHWEST] All four with starting opening square bracket, of course, omitted to avoid interpretation.

Installed X.org packages from Ubuntu/hoary, instead of old XFree86 ones. Now 3.9.2+ works.

IIRC, the slotting problem existed (cards came from the relative position in the hand), but was fixed some time ago (now all cards come from the middle). About the rearranging, agree (maybe an option, you always see your suits in the same order). As a workaround, the alternative diagram way is fixed, and not reordered (Two ♠A button in bottom bar)

With no board duplication cost, maybe round robin is easier.

Unless partner supports you with 3?

then ruff anything, and ♠Q is good (took a while to see).

thx! which version of cedega?
