How the world get changed from somekind student's homework (the creating of the computer virus) to disaster :) Some company earned a fortune for that :) Well i istalled AVG too after conversation in that topic. So for no problem and the regulary updates are quick and small I tried SpySweeper for anty-spy, but not free for regret <_<

Sometimes could be useful to transfer the friends list to other nick if you stop to enjoy with this one, and don't want to write down all of it and to reenter again. And as Hedy said to have other hidden for common eyes nick for calm play.

Why not from the same computer simultaneously? Actually, that is the first step to selfkibitzing! :wacko:

6NT could be also = 1♥ - 2♣ 2♦ - 4♣ (RHCB) ( don't you need to be 4th+♦ for that, after you may expect 0+♣, becouse if not guranteed ♦ or ♣ respectively, why not followed by NT contract) 4♥- 4NT 5♦- 6♣

How about Anti-Spy or Malware software ? I have MS Defender, but not enough statistics so far for that program. ( It's free with the latest AutoPatcher for Windows :wacko: ) Any advices in that subject ?

seem like -1 on 5♠, but anyway 5♣ was not correct bid i think. 4NT is better after 4♠ then 5♣ ( after all 10pts with grandfit and single ♠ is not bad)

hm, with single A♣ and dimonds that we have to made finesse for 4+ tricks NT contract seem scary for me. Hardly i will trust that partner have K♣. Even that with ♥ lead for example dummy had ♥xxx ducked from opponents you win first trick and partner have ♠Jx ♥xxx ♦J10xx ♣KQxx what will happen ?

IMO double will show strong hand to the partner, i assume that we don't play penalty double as rebid. if he bid 3♥ for example (he/she knows that we have probably fit ♦, so i don't expect 4th♥lenght as 3♥ovecall on 2♠X. so after 3♥ i will bid 3♠ and will left the game to continue as partner prefer. But i will not pass. Maybe risky, but better declarer then defender with that strenght. ;)

after partner first pass, 3♠ which will be less then 11 plus our 11 so sumarize so far mostly 27-28 pts. 3♠'s partner hold 12-13 and as look like most stronger hand on the table, so with probably two ♥ losers, 1♦ and 50-50 in the trump with Kx in the back. So, i'll also pass after partner pass too. He/she is the player who should to double the contract. After he/she don't, then no need double at all. ♥ lead and if the partner have ♦ honor maybe -1

As a bulgarian, i can tell you that i'm pleased that we are in EU already. But also i'm agree that we aren't prepared enough. That will be great shock for our economy, i hope for good. Our producers will have to meet big competition with EU firms, we should to wait if we want to work in EU depend of the protected period for every country. But after all Bulgaria and Romania belong to the Europe and we should to be part of the EU Family. Some of the newspapers make western europe's people to think that is truly criminal region, but that is not true. So i think that Europe should to be more happy then sad about membership of Bulgaria and Romania. Better to be together then separate. :) Well, "Wellcome in Europe"

Agree with that grammar spot ;) . Now there you are the full hand. [hv=d=n&v=b&n=sa98754h109dak754c&w=sqj106haq2dqj1096ck&e=s3h654d82cqj107652&s=sk2hkj873d3ca9843]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] I was South, partner bid 3♦, so i put 3NT on the table, which were the final contract.

[hv=n=sa98754h109dak754c&s=skxhkj873d3ca9843]133|200|[/hv] Both vuln. North open 1♠, Pas, South bid 2♥ I think that system of playing is not so important, the bids are natural so far. So West bid DBL. Now your rebid ? At all i should to show only North hand, but after 2♥ bid i think that South can't hold something so weird that to be hidden.

;) I'll try 4♠ with the hope that partner hold something like : 4th♠AJ10x 2nd♥Ax 3rd♦Kxx 4th♣-AQxx Parnter shouldn't have less then 3Aces, becouse such an invitations with 14-15 distrubutive pts he/she may bid directly 4♠. He/she didn't rebid 3♦ which could be single or void ♦ and hand like 4-4-1-4 or 4-4-0-5. As some experienced players says: The expected profit is more chancefull then expected lose here" So i'll try with the risk that partner could have and 4th♠K109x 3rd♥Axx 2nd♦AK 4th♣A109x

I would bid 2♣ after 1NT not directly transfer, but i assume that the GIB bid 2♥, not you. Becouse with 2♣, and after 2♦ respond for no major or if you played puppet and 2nt ( same ) you have another options: 3♣ which could be slam invite with 4+♣ and 4+ or 5+ major and very strong hand. Imo first stayman then major should to be also slam invite from the GIB. But bids of the GIB was poorly and darkshoot that you hit the slam at all. If you want to express strong hand after this major transfer i think that 3♣ should to show 5th♣ (not longer) and 3 cards in spades, invitational bid for next examination. And 2nt if you hold 3 cards in spades and non 5th suit in minors. You have 3♠jump after 2♥ which will show 4th♠ so other bid will be just distribution in spades and at all. So my suggestion on open cards ofcourse, becouse as i told i will not follow the GIB 2♥ will be : oneside bids 1NT - 2♥ ; 3♣ - 3♥ ; 4♦ - 4♥ ; 4NT -> followed by RKCB in spades 5♦; 5NT (kings ) - 6♣ (2K+trump queen) you may calm bid 6♠ awared by 1A + trump K

good or worse depend which side we defend or offense ;) 6♥ seem that is -4 which in nonvuln is 800. too higher then 6X0 or 710 mostly on open cards with single ♥ in EW hands 6♠ could be claimed if KJ ♦ are in doubler hand

maybe seem easy, maybe we have few options for declarer's plan, but at all why they stop on 5th level. i think that is good to catch ugly game and to stop lower and safety, but at all bridge should to bring and enjoy you could make without ♥ lead and 7♠, but do you will be happy after that ? i won't ;)

what is 3♦, only cuebid fit or bergen raise ? 1st if it's only cuebid 5!d is strong enough but if it's a bergen who guranteed 4+trumps, 5♥ is neccessary becouse your diamond control can't be shown for your partner 3♦ bid promise only trumps and limited pnts, so you can show the first control i would bid 5♥, or if play with player who i know well (and i know what consist 3♦ bergen), 5♠

hm, same like all before, low spade. if the partner have something like control as A or mostly K with 5-3-3-2 distrubution of the spades and if we expecting KJx in the opener or at least Kxx, the lead will be normally. if he don't or the declarer have Jx and dummy Kxx, there is hopeless for the defenders to broke this contract at least -1.

play for the dummy and risk on M% to make at least 6 level completed. A♣won and A♦ followed by ♦ again, ruff high if needed and 3card longer lenght in diamonds will hide the ♥ losers, but the most important question for me is not how will be maded 5♠, but why after 4♠ jump simply coverred with 5♠ the 5♥opp's bid. what cards should to have partner with no aces that he will close 4♠, becouse 1♥2♥ can hold less then 1♠2♠, so while he promise 4♠ with 5-5 and 2-1 he can't guranteed only with trumps and singletons. i would bid 5nt after 5♥, and will wait to see if partner have minor additions (we approved spade fit at all ).

strange rebid after 1♥. the player ( or GIB ) with ♥AKQ... and etc. bid 3♠? is it autocuebid, althought the partner bid natural spades ? :)

I'm agree with upper toughts for X at first time, the second rebid is reasonable to be cuebid ♥, it's a hardly situation partner to have 3+cards in hearts. rebid NT is not correct for me. If you guaranteed stopper in hearts, why don't bid 1NT first time ? Most common sequence bids for me seem to be something like 1♥ X Pass 2♣/2♦(from the partner ) Pass 2♥rebid P and it's should be enough forsing for him, with single or void in ♥ the game is ready to be bidded. 1♥ X Pass 1♠ well 2♥ same btw will be interesting if partner have ♥ stopper :P and he/she to bid 2NT Any variants could be possible but for me that is my way first Dbl, then Cue Bid i think that the game will be not missed with accurate cards in my partner

[hv=n=skxxxxhxdxcq10xxxx&s=sxhaqxxxdkqxxckxx]133|200|[/hv] South open 1♥, pass , 1♠ -> N ( or what you want to bid, but if 1♠ ) and try to bid and to stop to 3♣ which seem to be safety level, but will be good if partner doesn't have prediction skills and to stop unlogically B)

i support those who vote for pass, your partner pass first, you gave dbl with 12 pts he bid ♠, even that he repeat, his lenght can be still 4th but no strnght to stay on penalty Dbl. Any other forsing bid after 2♠ ( btw i would bid 2♠ not to dbl 2♦) is too strong and risky for me

Full hands are [hv=d=s&v=e&n=shxxdq10xxxxxcaj8x&w=sxxxxhaqj109xxxxdc&e=sxxxhkxdajxxck10xx&s=sakqj10xhdk9cq9xxx]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] not a goulash game, a real tournament game, very tempting to slam even, but strange distribution

my answers are : Q1: I would cover with A, becouse it will show ♠ desire probably if declarer ruff directly. Q2: Depends of carding i'll back higher ♣ if std and lower if udca, if partner has AK(or Q) i'll make third T♥ promotion at following cases: - AJxxxxx and no A♠ he/she should ruff with honour - i still have chance to ruff twice if he don't have J♥ for partner ruff in ♦ 4th-5th round maybe my desire for the cards is funny,:), but i think that the cards are not everytime definitely staying in worse variant
