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!

It just doesnt work in BBOfest and the free individuals limited to 40 peopleIt is a feature of BBO not a bug They know about it

also, if you alert a bid it is NOT visible to opponents

Guess what i discovered When you play with a regular partner your CC is still set to GIB 2/1 so not only can you not tell opponents you are playing weak NTs or your carding they cant even check your CC

If he forgot-he doesn't have to inform the opponent's before the lead. If it goes the other way things change. For example if he did have a Drury hand and bids 2C but opener did not alert, then before the opening lead responder must inform the opponent's there was a failure to alert 2C.

this was from the NABC robot game so is the good robots stupid robot has 4 card hearts support and lets me play in clubs https://tinyurl.com/2okmt9fb

Having a strong option with a Multi is a big disadvantage according to Kit Woolsey.

so I suppose it is just a coincidence your rating is 8+? or between 450 and 499 points

My link i know dd it doesnt matter but you think it could program it not to do something dumb like this

your lucky you are not doubled! look at all the aces out against you!!

3♠ is just silly. GIB counting the K♣ as a King and a singleton as usual Even if the hand was worth 13 bidding 3♠ is just silly, is obvious the hands aren't fitting and there is no game unless doubler is very strong
