"kemo sabe" is an expression used in the old "Lone Ranger" radio shows. The character "Tonto" was a Native American scout. He used this expression when addressing the Lone Ranger. There is a fair amount of debate about the origins of the expression. The following URL has a decent write up. http://www.tcnj.edu/~hofmann/kemosabe.htm i am reading now,with an electric-english-dictionary, seems a snail climbing slowly. :D ;) :lol: :P thank u BTW,i ought to reciprocate, 5♠ is a special raising but 2honor trump. because we can jump 4nt or 5minor(exclusive) to seek trump honor. what is the truth of 5♠ leap? an unbalanced hand,which is value for potential trump super-fit . edit: i forgot the key word---5♠ leap is a slam invitation---only need 2♠bidder's unbalanced hand . regards 000002

no,signoff pls. this balanced DBL was need 11counts,seems 2♠preempt--pass-pass--to me. i don't like this l-2nt,i take it as minors(include 3-3). illustrate: xxxx xxx xxx xxx regards 000002

they tied on the passed 23boards,both game here ,and this is 24th--last 1 board. the winner will gain 10000$ at least. does it big swing? regards 000002

1)i doubt bocchi's first passed too. 2)i don't understand why east didn't bid 3nt,i take 4♣ raising as an unbalanced hand. evolve this inference,it imply short in ♠ or ♦ following 2♠-DBL.should West(Duboin) take a red DBL based on east's actual participation? regards 000002

yes. e-w is bocchi/duboin who act on 2007yeh bros cup invitation. n/s is USA2 regards 000002

i don't know what is the meaning of "kemo sabe" in english,would anyone like to explain?thanks although such,i understand 5♠ better than 4♣. the reason is 2♠ guarantee 6cards+,and length of ♣:1/2/3+,means ♥+♦<=4cards. my english so poor,i have to use logical symbol to tell u. sorry regards 000002 :)

4♥ is a very bad contract. when west has a key card ♥--q,no way to make if E-W defense corecetly,unless a good luck. for example,weat take ♥ q,back a small ♠,east proceed ♠x,now,can not make 4♥ . regards 000002

it's cuebid 4♥ is too high if we take it as an natural bid, illusrtate: KQXX-----------AX XX--------------AKXX AKXX-----------QXXX XXX-------------XXX don't pass an new bid on the free-4level,and,if u have any question about how to rebid after t/o DBL, please overcall 3♥ directly after their 3♣ preemptive with 4cards good ♥ suiter. it's cuebid without ♣ control why do u take it natural?it's real esoteric to me. regards 000002

i can take easy to beat 4♥ if i seat in weat and hold ♥AQx---duck the first 1. i would bid 3♦ if north changes ♠10 --♥10,or 3cards♦ +♣ Kx. i take this 3nt is an acceptable bidding,i understood that north receive an message which was hinted 3♣ leap is a stanward 5-5 minors. regards 000002

opener Jxx------------Qxx KJxx---------- AQxx AKxxx-------- Q -------------- Kxxxxx how to explain this ? regards 000002 C U after 15days

to make a contract on 3level,it need 23counts certainly,although 2♦ was described LESS-THAN-INV,but the later DBL is showing an invitational hand,beyond all doubt. typical hand : xxx Axxx Jxxxxx ----- regards 000002

i saw many good comment in this post,and i noticed all the great master seems ignore a detail. i illustrate: AK-----QJxx Qxx----AKxxx xx------Qxx or Kxx AKQJxx--x responder raise 3♥ to check ♦ control. if he start from 3♣ rebid,then,1h-2c,2h-3c(2n),3nt-4c,4nt-?he has no ideal now. i agree 6♣ is a generic grand seeking,but i agree that it's alternative slam too,it depend on our commentary now.:) regards 000002

why u comment this 2♦ is underbid? regards 000002

son? it's very rude in chinese culture,i bet, MR. winston never go to china. :huh: :o ;) :lol: :D :P B) :) <_< :( :angry: :) :unsure: :blink: :ph34r: if anyone can explain this 5♠ raising exactly,i will abandon bridge game in my survival.

:1c-1n-2c-2d,3c-? after 3♣, passing by 1nt overcaller intensively drop a hint fit on ♦,i would take a DBL if ♦ only 2 cards; if i bid 3♦ directly,replacing pass, this 3♦ is good fit and ♣A/K singleness. i decide shift North DBL since 3♣ often 1down,but not easy 2 down . i don't shift 3♦ ,it often deny 4cards major ,so i advise 3♠ now. what is 3nt selection?imo this is a special hand with ♣ aq and fit ♦ with honor. regards 000002

my cognition stagnate at this level:difference length on trump,and stiff A/K. the first one is iff 6cards ♠,2nd is 7cards+,both with trump A or K singleness, invite slam .seems holding this generic hand: Kxxxxx/x Axx Ax Q/x the major difference is how to distinguish and evaluate the trump[q] on the opener's hand,especially he has 2cards trump with Q,or has 3cards trump and medium. for example: QX-----------------Axxxxx AKxx---------------xx AQx----------------KJ Qxxx----------------AKx if openner has Qxx ♠,this is good slam ; it's disaster with Qx stiff. but i am a few self-confidence,lotting on an master to coach this puzzle. regards 000002

sorry,i don't know what u say really,but i hope u can undersatnd what i say: i hate to see so many grey alert when i am watching the live broadcast. about half years ago,i ever sent an massage to a famaous italian player(one of F-N) when i watch he is free to see their italian's teamate act on BBO.he was amuzed apparently and explain that is proffessional bridge. but i hate this proffessional bridge if i have to accepted too many alert. i hope we can limit the range of the new convention ,they must be required to indicate what is the fault in the "OLD" way,and what is real advantage in their new convention. i think many poor players make many foolish convention now in this world,(include 3pairs of italian top players,but they are excellent player)they ought to accept the concept spare more time to study the OLD way , till they can point out the vice exist in the old way, excatly. regards 000002

thanks all commentator:)) which hand north can rebid after 4♠?since 1♠ open promise total 8 cards on the 2 longest suit,5♦ need 11total cards on ♠ and ♦.i think north ought to rebid 5♠ simplely with 10total cards,ie 5350 such as. which hand is the typical of this 11total?6511 or 6520,and good value.take instance: QJxxxx Ax AKxxx --- did u agree? regards 000002

"How about KJxx-10xxx-Ax-AKQ opposite Q10xx-v-KQx-J1098xx? If 1NT-P-2♣-P-2♥-P-3♣ showed clubs, spades, and invitational values, would you expect as Opener that a stiff heart was likely as opposed to remote (partner seems to be 6-4 to introduce such cruddy clubs)? How do you show this powerhouse without a jump to 4♥ as an empathized splinter bid? Soloway-Hamman and Bramley-Feldman failed to find this slam, but this sequence suggests strongly that the rare is probable, tipping the odds in favor of the call." huge difference in this hand ,it's alterable declarer, and game forced strength(invitational with ♣/♠ 5431 but not 5422). regards 000002

i argued with my friend who win the champion of chinese championship 3months ago.the bidding auction is as below: N****E*****S****W 1♠---2♣----4♠----5♣ 5♦----6♣--- ? the hand south hold is interesting: Axxxxx JT xxx Ax NS use a system named precision,1♠ opening is limited 11-15counts.the VUL is NS vulnarable and EW white.3♣ cuebid is invitational hand hereinbefore. can south take a green forcing pass now? thanks ,i would like to learn from u with the petition for interpret . regards 000002

I would go even further and say that to get slam after this start would violate a basic principle of bidding theory. If you have some freak 2H bid and don't care about violating basic principles of bidding theory, you can use 4C or 4D to tell you partner that you would like to get involved in an impossible auction. But unlike 4C and 4D, 3S is a useful natural bid. Probably a reasonable convention would be to play 3S to be completely artificial and mean "bid 3NT if you want". Not that I would necessarily suggest using this convention even if it could be proven to be more useful than a natural 3S (because it is too obscure). Fred Gitelman Bridge Base Inc. www.bridgebase.com Probably a reasonable convention would be to play 3S to be completely artificial and mean "bid 3NT if you want". yes i agree with a little difference. Probably a reasonable convention would be to play 3S to be completely artificial and mean "bid 3NT because i want". a typical hand which opener hold: xx AQxxxx Ax Axx btw,the new suit bidded by opener is a short suit,not cue bid in this caes,the reason is more frequence.take instanse: 1♥---1♠ 2♥---3♥ 4♣-----------------this 4♣ show ♣sigleton with ♠honor or void♣ alonely. regards 000002

the 2nd forcal question is why west jump 5♦? in MP,it should utterly be punished by opps,minus 300 is terrible if they no game. does he have a typical hand (1=1=7=4) or not? the 3rd detail is pass from 1♠ overcaller ,did u agree it's a forcing bid?especially on MP. the 4th difficulty is the problem of slam,does it have zero possibility? in deed? :D :) :) :) :P regards 000002

yes,i agree u, we did better than the player who act on the Bermuda Bowl usually. the reason is we post through our pondering but they are not .under rule,at most 3min's they use on the table . the first puzzle in this conundrum is 3♥ overcall. did u agree 3♥ is semi-foring and it's underbid now? what is ur range of 3♥? :D :o ;) :D B) :P :P :) regards 000002

In the point of my view, the bug in the 1M-2♣ is concerning on 2 field-which AWM ever point out in the upper post.i indicate it with instance: 1)open 1♠,select an method to respond with this typical hand: AQ Axxx Axxx Jxx no corrective bidding exists in the natural system,sigh--- 2)how to solve the conflict (responsive hand)between strength and length,something like 6♣-4M: ? Q? AKxx AKJxxx somtimes the doubleton on the opening's suit is uppermost important but sometimes it's inessential. does there have another real important vice? if it's existing,i honestly learn from him. by the way , i think italian doesn't have a real good system about bridge.but i must say that i admired them ,because they discuss the detail as their possible.i believe these is the essential reason why italian gain so many rebound of bridge. regards 000002
