You are not a lone voice there are many of us who are upset with the old version being phased out. Rubber only players are not happy. We do not want to play imps most of us have no idea how the scoring or strategy work. To say the least we are very sad.
My good friend and BBO player BozoBus lost his heroic battle with pancreatic cancer on Feb. 25 2015..Not a day goes by that I do not remember him. Next month will be the one year anniversary of his passing. He loved to play bridge and taught me a lot.
