I am a largely self-taught bridge player, having learnt and played the game mostly online - the ACBL Learn To Play Bridge Software is a very good resource! I've also supplemented that with a Bridge course, and read up a bit on conventions and opening leads. I do not like to follow the conventions and so-called thumb rules blindly, and would like to appreciate and understand the logic that led to their development. However my search for such a source has proved elusive so far. Can anyone recommend a book or a website that would be suitable to my requirements?

oh yes, the tournament is back in my list

I used to play the Forums Daylong every Sunday. I used to be automatically registered for it. But now for the past month or so, I find that it is not visible on the list of tournaments. Though when I see the list of completed tournaments, it is there. Do you need to be an active forum member to take part? Does prolonged inactivity rule you out? I really liked playing it since the field is tough and improving my scores in the tournament was a source of great satisfaction.
