Fluffy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Bidding is a bit outdated, so I won't let you bid this time. Click here to play the hand Please, log in before/while playing the hand, it is so boring to see only anonymous scores, registering is totally free, you don't even need a valid email address, all can be done in one step, furthermore, if you score badly (below average), your name will show as anonymous to other users, so only if you do it well will everyone else be able to see your greatness.

Antrax Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 The answer is probably "because it's a poor play", but why can't you attack diamonds immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's what you should do.... here is how I made the hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's what I tried to do and your site wouldn't let me! (Well, actually I tried leading a low diamond) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 sorry I didn't think anyone would play a low diamond, its unnatural for me, but I should allow it. Anyway when you clicked on the low diamond it should had tried to tell you the valid cards to play where ♦Q or hearts, highlighting them.

Antrax Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yep, it showed me what I could play, either hearts or clubs. I'm sure it didn't show the ♦Q. (Also, that's why you have me, so someone makes the stupid plays) BTW: why Q and not low ♦? You have sufficient entries and it makes it harder for E to duck, no?

Fluffy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 actually east ducking is what lets you make the contract!, I don't normally play low from Hx for a finesse, it is antinatural for me, I should rethink of it. When I played the hand I didn't recap the distribution yet when I led ♦Q and it seemed like my best legitimate chance to make the contract was to find west with ♦K10, ♦K10x or ♦K10x(xx) with hearts splitting.

(Also, that's why you have me, so someone makes the stupid plays)Damn, this should be impossible, clubs are only playable from dummy the way I programmed the hand... unless you got another database error, you seem to be finding those ones, I sadly (and I really mean it) have a very good connection to the server, so have problems to spot connection failures and their consequences. Thanks for trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Non-bridge comment on the solution site: The panel on the right is very big, if I try to use your site on half of my (quite big) screen, the cards are no longer properly visible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thx Csaba, working on it, that is the comments I need to improve the page, do you think a sliding margin letting you pick the limit between the text zone and the rest (thus, for you, making the cards zone larger and text smaller which would spread the cards) would solve the problem? if not please send me a screenshot (fluffydog at gmail dot com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yes, I'm pretty sure the sliding margin would solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 it took me several hours, but I think I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't see a good reason for East to duck ♦Q. But once he did, I found the line B-) Nice problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
