I usually don't believe at coincidences and simmetry points as here (20 Hcp in an hand can be read also if distributed) and probably opp can have less few. What's happen for 5♦ ?

How can I search for threads older than one year?
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in BBO Support Forum
With this occasion i can add that you can search almost 90% of topics that i replied opening all the SubForum in Bridge Related Discussion and BBO Discussion using Time Frame :Show All and getting back to January 2014 ending as last post indicated with nickname Lovera if interested (clicking then "Remember Filter" to retain it). -
How can I search for threads older than one year?
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in BBO Support Forum
At the bottom of any Forum there is "Click here to show filter option". You has to act, when you have click on, changing (on the right) "Time Frame" from 30 days in "Show all" and (on the left) "Show type" from Topic: All in "Topic: I replied" (in the black roll window that will appear). Then click on "Go". -
Ok, but if " This hand is too good" maybe is necessary don't share your lucky.

Pass, Double, or Compete?
Lovera replied to xeno123's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Why this #34 post of mine is not indicated in " Find My Content" ? -
As mentioned above, the Finance G7 will be held in Bari from 11 to 13 May in conjunction with the celebration on 8 May for the Holy Patron Saint Nicholas. The meeting will take place in the Svevo Castle and this event will give great visibility to my city as well as make great efforts to ensure the safety of the participants. I think that you will be able to see parts of the city such as the Margherita, Petruzzelli and Piccinni theaters (overlooking the Palazzo di Città), the Cavour and Vittorio Emanuele Avenues and the Lungomare Boulevard.

Initially i proofed both methods w/o using "Search title only" option that got me no resulting and i thought these was not possibility to try topic than.
-
What is it ? When i click on return to me the "Search" box. Just a while the second chance was "Opponents needed" by hrothgar that evidently both didn't get out because i avoided to insert in "Search" the indication of "topic title only" that now work. How can do for getting out the first (that en passant is on last page of "General bridge discussion" - the other two on previously page) ?
-
Yes, this (second) one already experimented. If in post there is the/a name (of author) or title (or part of it) could (easy) be found, if anyone remember the author of topic can contact him/her to have indication if is active, but if is not ? And this one can happen also for, let's say mtvesuvius or Chamaco (that have done a lot of interesting posts/topics but are not actually active - i think). How to find an old topic when there is not any indication of this type ? Can anyone suggest a way ?
-
It maybe(=NT) but the same is happening when i need find i.e. "General Announcement" (with more than 4 characters) topic by skrshawk.
-
Already done: zero resulting. The topic's author is "haver" probably inactive.
-
... i.e. the topic "suit or NT" using the (advanced) search box (with fourthemore the absumption that the name of topic author is not in dialogue text/post) ?

This was in a newspaper some time ago
Lovera replied to Lord Molyb's topic in Interesting Bridge Hands
It needs three card in a minor and two in the other one to sure slam with 21 points available and high possibility of opening by opp (and bidding go slowly..). -
Also thinking next holidays i present now the possibilty to watch what is on Italy for tourism (that my country is rich). A lot of much good towns/cities that you can able to see via RAI REPLAY (television). In my first post #1 is my city (Bari) with a program of Linea Verde Orizzonti, other cities also by Linea Verde (you can search puttin it in :-O [=to search]- high on right top bar or also "Sereno Variabile" on RAI2). I add fourthemore via YouTube (where i have a my channel): 10 Most Amazing Destinations on Southern Italy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMGXlkzoQJM&feature=youtube_gdata_player Italy's Riviera: Cinque Terre: 10 Top Tourist Attractions on Italy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ9Iekkckp8&feature=youtube_gdata_players Middle Italy:Marche: http://www.tourradar.com/t/96160 Puglia: the 5 most glamour beaches

How to devalue doubleton and singleton honours?
Lovera replied to OldGranton's topic in Novice and Beginner Forum
"For a third suit with Q or J it is not given full value because both combinations must overcome great difficulties to be able to make trick. That is the why if a hand contains more than one of these combinations, the deduction is to be made equally by only one trick" (pag. 4 from Stayman system). The tabel of hand valutation about "Detraction" reported : "An hand without A (only by opener) -1; K, or Q, or J alone -1; doubleton conteining Q, or J, and any card, A excluding -1; Qxx, or Jxx or both combinations -1; shape 4-3-3-3 (to support trump suit) -1; raising trump with three cards -1; K or Q in unfavourable position -1" (pag. 8 from citated text).(Lovera) -
Yes, it is strange but if you controll GIB (at bottom page-"solver") can watch that indicates A1K1J1 in red and 41 in green colored than acts consequently. Why there is indicated so ? Probably is this one the problem(=bug).

7NT is a grand contract,
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Let me say it:anytime people say that we are talking "seeing all cards" that is the truth..but it not is wrong to do because helps to solve bidding problem . Now you develop your thinking that, seems to me, a little complex requering partner to act subsequently in bidding. Is it possible at the table ? I think that probably bidding should have been more simply saving slam resulting. It to say that this one perhaps is not the right way to get to 7NT. About "Now ask for Kings and partner show nothing" i want to say that i do not agree because in this situation where partner has a singleton(=splinter) that can not have been showed previously you can consider the possibility to bid 6♣ instead meaning King or singleton. -
7NT is a grand contract,
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Playing vs South that retains all controlls you can cash the whole heart suit discarting a diamond, retourning in dummy in spade and cashing the four top honors realizing a triple repeat automatic squeeze ( transfert card in diamond). -
7NT is a grand contract,
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Perhaps can be considered the guard squeeze derived by balanced with J and 10 separated in spade that allows possibilities on discarting. Five rounds of heart suit, in dummy (little diamond to Q), the two Aces and anew in E playing last heart. If an honor in spade falls down impasse otherwise S remain squeezed in ♦ and ♠ and if was discarted three clubs the 10 is idle card. -
7NT is a grand contract,
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
It is not important if top honors in double menace are divided or not and it(=double) meaning undeterminated location. -
7NT is a grand contract,
Lovera replied to silvr bull's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
I think i've seen another ending (cashing ♣ A). Do you agree ?
