why lead 7♦ at trick 2? just giving partner a hard time

trick 1 play why doesn't GIB play Q it costs a trick here. Admittedly, with me bidding heats the spots might be the case where it doesn't cost but playing Q has to be at least as good as playing low

Chess is a finite game, it is just a very large number

being invisible doesn't stop any invites

The memory load for KK relay is significantly lower than other symmetric relay systems. I picked up in 2 days. Others i was never able to remember. Highly recommend despite it being "non-optimal"

Why do relay systems use the order of bidding high shortage, equal/middle shortage, low shortage? Is there an advantage over, low shortage, equal/middle shortage, high shortage?

with 3 spades and 11 pts the normal bid is 1N forcing to be followed up with 3♠ Doubling, GIB has decided 2♦ is going down more than making in spades It is a poor choice to make a penalty double without having shown prime support for partner

2♣ is a terrible bid with 4-3-3-3 It is clear to bid your only 4-card suit. You can game-force with 4-th suit forcing next round or jump to 3NT/4♥ bidding 2♣ is a distortion of your shape, you will never be able to find 6♣ on hands where it is right if you bid 2♣ on these type of hands

Bidding after 1M when it promises a 5-card major is so easy. Anyone Intermediate or above can easily learn system. If there a good system write-up using 4-card majors involving canape?

looks like the only way to beat contract then is to switch to T♦ hopefully North will overtake Q♦ with Ace this time and continue suit

What about my bidding, I am showing enough pts that I could have JH. Plus i've showed up with AK clubs so clearly East doesn't have 19-21 Is there no "does not compute" function? In fact as soon as dummy is revealed North knows east doesn't have their bid

i wasnt really paying attention so led 5th best if i had led 4th best would gib have woken up and realized we have hearts? My link

Signalling is so crucial to good defence I accept that occasionally you will gift declarer As you learn, you can learn when to not signal or even lie. As it is, the ridiculousness of GIB leading a suit and switching or not leading it again when lead is regained because it can't tell if partner like it even though declarer is wide open is appalling!
