  1. Thanks, I hope this happens as soon as possible. About the anonymous games in P.A., they can sometimes be simple but I think they can be useful for some personal tests of various types and in this respect they should be re-evaluated or seen.
  2. Probably is this the video that was requested:https://www.conservativehome.com/video/2019/06/the-bbcs-conservative-leadership-election-debate-brexit-moments.html
  3. Brexit: Johnson, Tory risk extinction  ansa.it 2019/06/05 08:13 follow  (ANSA) - ROME, JUNE 5 - The British Conservative party risks "potentially extinction" if it fails to implement Brexit and "put in its place" the leader of the Brexit Party Nigel Farage: Boris Johnson said, one frontrunners in Theresa May's chair race, during a closed-door meeting with about eighty parliamentarians. According to reports in the British press, Johnson pointed out that it is crucial to bring the kingdom out of the EU by the end of October, excluding both early elections and a second referendum, which would be "absolutely undemocratic". The former foreign minister has promised that if he becomes prime minister he will try to renegotiate with Brussels the Brexit agreement set by May which, he said, "simply does not work".

  4. Once upon a time it was possible to explore the situation of honors in diamond suit and stop before being forced to risk (i.e.: 1NT-2 ♦, 2 ♥ -4 ♣(=?), 4 ♦ -5 ♦(=?), 5♥ w / o King or 5NT with King)..
  5. You might think they come from the MSN Game Bridge Club archive of hands, but rightly so, even when the hand is transferred. What interested me to know was where I could certainly try to look in the indicated time range ie when I played that hand.
  6. Wouldn't it be possible to find it via "My Hands Database" and then to "Click here for results of recent tournaments" subsequently by choosing "Everything" (or somewhere else thing analogically) ?
  7. It's not about the save, but where are these hands subsequently taken for the game and for the declarative phase, so that they can be found again ?
  8. Where it is possible to find this hand that I played in Play Anounimously between 1:00 to 3:00 am on 06/19/2019 and suitable for the game in bidding defense (5 ♣ -1 or 6 ♣ -3 for S vs 4 ♠ or 5 ♠ of W): hand of S ♠ Qxx ♥ - ♦ Kxx ♣ AQJ10xxx), all red, IMP ?
  9. What seems strange to me is that this hand combined with that of the dummy presents, once the presence of the four Aces has been ascertained, such a variety of squeeze finals, of which little is spoken, such as to render certain the possibility of the grand slam which should , for greater safety, be played with the trump suit.
  10. Another automatic ending is the "criss-cross" squeeze. With the possibility that trump suit doesn't break, it means that the diamond suit allows to move between the two hands.
  11. It's slight different from the previous one where were indicate the two Aces (then in N/S remains ♥AQxx/Kxx,♠Q idle c./J,♣4sq.c.). The heart suit is at indeterminate position it being in W or E the longness.
  12. Franckly i was for the previous one situation (A♦,A♠ and on last club W/E is squeezed..).
  13. The analisys of the hand with other endings can take far away. I say that a double squeeze has its weakness in the double menace, if the opening lead is in that suit and is not protected.
  14. Exactly ( a my suggest is to avoid the finesse but to consider the squeeze play to bypass it as for the elimination play ).
  15. But also Minorwood and then asking in ♠ knowing of Queen with the answer of 5♦ and then again with 5♥ knowing Queen having 5♠ by N and all is clear about to bid ..
  16. Because you have 12 tricks can try for one more squeezing W/E in ♥-♠.

  18. 16:14 Brexit: Tusk, 20-30% chance that the UK remains in the EU (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - Milan, May 10 - There is a 30% chance that the UK will remain in the European Union, as the British really started discussing the issue only after the outcome of the referendum of 2016, when the Brexit was voted. "The real debate on the consequences of Brexit did not start before or during the referendum campaign, but after the vote. Today the results would probably be different", given that "paradoxically the outcome of the referendum generated a pro-Europe movement in the Kingdom United, "said European Council President Donald Tusk, in an interview with the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, stressing that" today the chances of Brexit not occurring are around 20-30%, it's a lot ". According to Tusk, moreover, "every month that passes is increasingly clear that the UK's exit from the EU would be very different from the one presented" in 2016, so "I see no reason to capitulate" and "I see no reason to surrender, even if we repeat that the referendum is an expression of the will of the people and this must be respected ". However, referring to the 1975 referendum, when the British, two years after the country's entry into the European Economic Community had to decide whether to stay there or not, Tusk stressed that "the 2016 referendum was not the first. If he changed the outcome of the 1975 one, why not change yet? Nothing is irreversible until people think it is, "he said. Ars- (RADIOCOR) 10-05-19 16:14:02 (0491) EURO 3 NNNN
  19. The hand was interesting (coming from those in the Main Club? Or from the tour of the Robots tournaments?). The bidding went so (opp GIBs are silent) :(GIB in N) 1 ♠ -2 ♣ (if 2NT, N bids 3 ♣), 2 ♥ -3 ♠, 4 ♣ -4 ♥ ( both cues), 4NT-5 ♥, 5NT-6 ♣, 6 ♠ (made with a squeeze). The opening lead was 3 ♦.
  20. Ok, is it not rocket science but i've already the hand that want by GIB(s) : only if it was possibile to have quickly it's better, i think.
  21. I don't think this can help me because I am not an expert on IT procedures but instead I am independent of mine for other bridge events (gaming and biddings). Since I was also interested in having also the related indications on the score (purely indicative) I just need to know where to find the source database too.
  22. Last Sunday 28/4/19 I was in P.A. to carry out declarative tests and, as mentioned in post # 1, I carry out the redeal in a repeated way (which however involves a time commitment and is the reason why I have already asked how to speed up this operation with some type of selection) up to to obtain a suitable hand which in this case was to verify the Jacoby 2NT. Afterwards I made this mode again finding the second hand and also a third time (GIB in N bid 1♠) and probably it was on a predetermined lot. I therefore ask you to know from which database it is possible to find the hands (then bidded and played ) with GIB in Play Anounimously.
  23. Rather than "dark lady" I would talk about Jessica Rabit ("I'm not bad but that's how they paint me").
  24. I re-open my topic insisting on my request in order to promote a more profitable use of GIB even by experienced players who would have the chance to test bidding solutions of various types or to verify the use of conventions. One possibility could be to be able " to select " the open bid (i.e. 1NT for the transfers, etc.).

It will not be a coincidence that he is the husband of Flavia Pennetta (you can see his performance by easily finding the topic of "U.S. Open Tennis (Grand Slam) 2015" by placing my nickname Lovera in the search box referring to the subforum). This is the YouTube video of the event:
