This might have been mentioned already in the 11 pages of comments on the subject, and if I have missed it I apologise. If dummy can only see his own hand and if players have the option to block kibs from viewing their hand, won't it help towards solving part of the problem?

Unless there's a newer version than the 3.6.3

It is available...click learn bridge, then chat rooms, and the find person button is there.

North ♠ K x ♥ KQJxxx ♦ void ♣ Kxxx South ♠ xxx ♥ Ax ♦ Q10xxxxx ♣ void I was North and opened the bidding, which went, 1♥-x-P-1♠ 2♥-3♠-4♥-4♠ X-P-P-P I led the king of hearts, partner played the 7. I thought he had 4 and was asking me to stop. I switched to a club, he ruffed, came back a diamond I ruffed, etc. Declarer was down 3. The TD was called to the table by one of our opponents during the play of the hand. We had no idea why. However I noticed that the TD followed us during most of the tournament. When we finished I messaged him and asked why he was called to our table and why he was following us. He said that our opponents thought that was strange play!! The so called *expert* opponent did not take the time to look at the hand, or realise during play that my partner had 8 diamonds and had no other lead? Did the TD look at the hand and try to figure out what went on, or did he go to other tables and check results? No he just followed us around. The result was the same at most tables. It was a surviver tournament but we didn't survive. I believe that most people who play tournaments on BBO are honest but I might just be naive. I also believe that TD's should use their head. Obviously in our case he/she didn't. I have a question. When a TD is called to a table, shouldn't everyone know why he is called? Private messaging with one of the players should not be an option in my view, unless it's something of a personal nature, i.e. he wants to leave and needs a sub. Do we have to play the rest of the tournament, under the supervision of a TD because some *expert* made a mistake? If people want to cheat, they can be my guests. If it is impossible to stop them from doing so, so be it. However, please let the rest of us play in peace.

Yes I would grant the undo. You make your contract anyway, as will everyone else who bid the slam. If you get a top score because someone made an honest mistake, and can live with it, then so be it. I know that when I misclick, I get so nervous that it takes me forever to find the undo button, and sometimes click redeal by mistake ;) I think we can safely say that not only young people play bridge on BBO. Older people have slower reflexes. Sick people have slower reflexes too. Since not everyone is young and healthy..........Well, that's the way I think. I grant undos to everyone who asks for one and never presume that someone is trying to cheat. Whether they misclicked or just changed their mind, is fine by me. Players are always trying to speed up as inevitably someone at the table will say..'Play", or "This is too slow", so mistakes are bound to happen. My suggestion would be: If you have a train to catch, don't come here to play bridge. :D
