My device is a Windows 10 laptop. Up until a week ago the undo button was on the playing screen when I plaedy at the casual level - now it's gone, and it's not on the Table menu either. Thoughts?

Has the undo option been removed from the BBO screen? For several days now it has not been shown on my device either during bidding or during play. Or is my device acting up?

My partner and I play SAYC. If my RHO is dealer and bids 1C, and I have AJxx, Qx, Q10x, KJxx, what is my best bid? I think I should compete with a double, despite having only 2 hearts and the 3 clubs, because I have no better bid. My partner insists that I cannot double, per SAYC, because of the heart shortness and the club length. He says I should pass and await developments. What is the consensus position on this type of hand? Thanks.

Partner and I play SAYC and our opening 1NT range is 15-17. Partner says that regardless of ACBL saying that players can now open 1NT with a singleton ace, he says that is not in the SAYC standard, and he says we should not do this. Until ACBL changed its position, no convention could open 1NT with a singleton, but now they can. I say that since ACBL now allows it, it is allowable in SAYC and is sometimes the best available bid. I realize we need to reach a partnership agreement on this question, but he says that SAYC does not allow a 1NT opening with a singleton ace, and I say it now does, now that ACBL made the change/ Who is right? Thanks.

Using SAYC convention, we have used Gerber in the past when the opening bid is 1 or 2NT. On this hand we were not vul. The opps passed throughout. I opened 1S, my partner responded 1NT. I jumped to 3D, and my partner bid 3NT. Then I bid 4C, intending Gerber. Partner's hand was singleton low spade, Kxxxxx in hts, QJx in clubs, and 3 small diamonds. Partner passed my 4C. My hand was AQ10xx spades, singleton low ht, Ax clubs, and AQJ9x diamonds. 1) I realize I was being too aggressive with my slam try, but with this bidding sequence, wasn't this a proper place to use Gerber? 2) And even if my partner did not consider it Gerber, shouldn't he at least have bid 4D? Thanks
