Have you renewed ACBL membership?

Since our chances of game are thin, 3d, suggesting a sacrifice in diamonds if need be.

Why does the double dummy analysis deactivate after play of each card (trick) when using the handviewer's link? Is this problem long-standing?

Thanks for the answer, but i wonder why online sites -not just bbo- do this. I am afraid there are a few others like me slipping into the bad habit of not taking pains to remember the auction.

The bbo allows for reference to the auction at all times during the play of the deal. Other bridge sites too do so. Is it in accordance with the laws? I believe that this restating of auction can't be requested in face-to-face bridge after play to first trick. Should not the bbo block the auction after play to the first trick, or am i missing something?

"It would be cool if Group Challenges allowed more invites". Sure. But from what i read on this forum, bbo isn't swayed easily. Glad to be proven wrong on this one.

Shouldn't this belong to the "watercooler" section?

No reason not to do it for "picture of cards" view, which the majority prefer. So, hoping bbo addresses this in the next update.

Thanks.

The delay has reappeared :(

When declaring in physical tournaments, we never forget which hand is dummy. But on bbo, at times, most people have had a lapse. The main reason is that the dummy's cards bear the same appearance as the declarer's (in contrast to funbridge site). It would be helpful if dummy's cards alone appear against a shaded backdrop. Also dummy can bear the name "dummy" instead of "robot".

I think TCR needs 10 tournaments in 60 days time. What is the span of your 14 tournaments?

I too can't understand the difference. Can someone please explain? Thanks.

Interesting suggestion. I am sure most would love to see it soon.

Isn't that message conveyed willy-nilly when you take a long time to play?

Sometimes the opening leader or any defender needs a couple of minutes to figure out the card to play. He starts thinking while others wonder after a while if he is aware of his turn to play. Typing in chat either derails the thought process or is difficult when you play on mobile. How about a button for "thinking" next to the claim and undo buttons which made life much easier?

Thanks

Sorry if this had been asked before. I opened strong 2c, gib partner responded 2d waiting. I rebid 2h, partner bid 3c shown as cheaper minor. I closed with 4h and made 12 tricks. I did not trust gib's explanation of cheaper minor as anything upto 12 total points as i believed it to be a second negative, which wasn't the case. Is cheaper minor played differently?

If partner induces a defensive error with deceptive play and makes an unexpected extra trick, wdp seems appropriate -- a sporting defender would understand, i guess.

Is it possible that your not choosing new minor forcing would have led the bot to believe you had just 4 hearts.

NMF is played by gib.

Thanks diana_eva, the forum member-list is updated now. Hope to play from now on.

Thanks.

Must be the case though I am surprised that the eligibility conditions are not readily accessible to the forum members.
