Retrieving Hand using browser at a teaching table

[FM75]

Using browser at a teaching table it is easy to save a link that the hand viewer can play - while you are still at the table.

 

Is it possible to retrieve the hand after the table has been closed? A windows client user, I think, can find the .lin file. I have not been able to retrieve one even though it is within the last 100 hands played.

A bit late to reply here, but in case you still need the info:

 

Does looking in My Hands help? Each hand has a LIN link and a Movie link. Click Movie to open the hand, and you can copy the URL in the address bar to save it:

To access hand records go to www.bridgebase.com and click "Hand Records" either at the top, or in "Related links".

If by "My Hands", you mean "Hands and Results, Recent Hands", no it is not listed.

I am able to get other hands played on 31-Dec-2011, but not the hands that were played at a teaching table (with Marty Bergen).

 

Perhaps this is a problem with the "Teaching Table". I just opened one, played a game and closed it. Tried retrieving it both via "Hands and Results..." and the "Hand Records" link. It is not available.

Yes, teaching table hands are not stored. There is an option to "Save all deals" that allows you to store hands in a folder in Hands and Results. Click the Options button, at the bottom of My Results panel. You cant retrieve past hands, but at least you can store teaching table hands from now on.

By the way, "Save all deals" does not work entirely the way one might expect. Tried it last night at the end of a lesson on Precision. Sad to say, it only saved the deals where I was one of the players. I think it is fair to expect that it would save the deals from the first hand to the point at which you used the "Save all deals" button. If you were a player for each deal then you get what you want. If you were only kibbing, I think you get nothing.

I just checked this again, and it worked as expected. All hands were stored, even if i didn't play at all. The hands are not saved in Recent Hands, but in a separate folder you have to create for this. This folder should be in Hands and Results > My hand folders.

 

1. Save all deals

2. A "Save all deals" menu appears, listing existing hand folders and asks where to save the hands. You can choose one of the existing hand folders (for example "My favorite hands"), or create a new folder.

3. Click "Select"

4. A message should appear saying "Saving all deals..." and you can see how the deals are selected one after another on the My Results panel, from first at top until last at the bottom

5. When done, another message appears saying "Save complete. X hands saved"

 

The saved deals can be retrieved anytime in Hands and results > under the heading "My hand folder", in the folder you selected or created for this purpose.
