Thanks for the answer! It is pity that no changes are done anymore. And BBO is not interested to let anyone do changes? (not that I would have time for it yet) How do you know all this? :) And where did you get that piece of code from (where is the "one slightly more readable version of the bidding database")?

I wonder how GIB is changed? - Who has the code? - What tool/language is used for the code? - Who makes changes? - what changes are done; only small changes only bidding? only bugs? Also play improvements? - Does bidding/play work with fixed rules; or is there some small random variability in it. (e.g: normally 1NT always 15-17, but sometimes 14; because of hand evaluation, or 1/1000bids because to make opps a little less sure)

argh...sorry

Or 5♦? (you already denied the ♦AK) Then partner shows his ♥A And you bid 5♠ to show your void. partner knows you have: void=K??=Q??=and good clubs It is still difficult to 7♣ with: Kxxx=AQx=AKxx=xx Partner can bid 5NT now to invite 6/7♣?

5♠ for me, I think it describes your hand better than 6♣ For 5NT I would want another ♦. and 4NT could be to play, e.g: Kxx=A=x=AKQJxxx ?

Opener can bid 3♥ - showing 18-19 - instead of 3♦? I think opener should not show singleton ♦Q with this strength.

This is how I play it. I will bid 1S with f.i.: rightsiding NT: Axx=xxx=Axxx=Axx GF with D: AKxx=Axx=AQxxx=x Weak with D: xx=xxx=AQxxxx=xx (after 1NT we bid then 2C as a puppet to 2D)

If you would play namyats... Can you explain why you don't open namyats in all seats? I would think it is a good description of your hand and gives the opps more preempt to find their Spade fit.

congrats smerriman with the final and thanks for organizing this!

I would probably open the N hand 1NT 15-17 (With 4=2=2=5 I would also open 1C)
