hrothgar Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I'd also be willing to help out with lessons, practice sessions and the like.Despite the horror of last nights outing, it really is a good system and fun to play. Of course, the big question is what version of the system we should teach ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbleighton Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'm afraid I'll have to take a rain check: SA, 2/1, and a constantly evolving flavor of Precision is about as much as I can handle in my first year - but I'll probably be pestering you some time in the future :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenisO Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Hi Luis I'm certainly interested - However with time zone difference (I live in UK) and being out a LOT in Summer (golf), i'm not sure about committing to a regular time. Winter might be better? But I'll be grateful for any description notes and particularly relay bidding examples you put on the web Denis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmeier Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I am somewhat interesred in following this - but note that most of my exposure is from reading hrothgar's notes ( that try to answer, What would Paul Marsten dp ?! ) - inertia would slow me from going too far too fast from this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hi Ben, please let me know what email address you are using often and I'll send you some very raw notes that I have for a player like you they will be enough!

luis Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi all fellow students :-) I've uploaded some notes to the WWW http://groups.yahoo.com/group/moscito/file...System%20Notes/ You will find:- System notes for German Moscito (less agressive than Aussie but ACBL legal and very precise for slam bidding)- Relay structure (can be used with German or Aussie versions, based on rules doesn't need memorization)- Interference over relays (what happen when they bid based on rules to prevent problems) You are invited to download and read these files they are very raw and very simple but it's a start isn't it? You can post questions in this forum and I'll try to answer them all. I'll try to arrange some practice lessons/lectures so we can practice together if you are interested. Welcome to Moscito.

sdebois Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 A system description for German Moscito (Peter Buchen et. al. 1993) available in English here: http://www.diku.dk/hjemmesider/studerende/...man-moscito.pdf The relay structure and openings are identical to Luis' above, however, this document uses various asking bids rather than denial cuebidding and includes a modification with transfer openings and 1nt = majors. For the impatient, Honeymoon Moscito (Peter Buchen 1991) has "natural relays" and is very easy to learn: http://www.diku.dk/hjemmesider/studerende/...oon-moscito.pdf The above system is very fun if you've never played a strong club and want to try it - you can play it literally after 15 minutes. Honeymoon is rather lacking in definition, of course, so one quickly acquires the ambition to try something more well-defined (and complex), like Luis' variant of German Moscito. Luis, if you want to do a neat-looking write-up of your version of German Moscito, I have the LaTeX sources for the German Moscito PDF-file above. (I got all this off the internet. I have had no part in the creation of any moscito-variants.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, The Latex sources of the document will be welcome, maybe I can produce a better formatted document for the version we play.Thanks!Pls send it to luis@fuegolabs.com if you can be so kind.

Free Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Hi, I'm new at this forum, but I'd like to learn this moscito systems! They seem very good, and a bit adjustable (openings on 2 level and higher maybe), and it seems like u have no problems when opponent intervene. I've allready read the honeymoon-moscito. I live in Belgium so there can be a big time difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irdoz Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 I'd be really interested in attending any lessons on Moscito. I'm in Australia....best times for me are late at night East Coast USA time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfgauss Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 I'm quite interested in playing(/learning to play) moscito online. I've read the australian version notes (hrothgar's writeup?), but reading the german version shouldn't be too much trouble. Let me know when you'll be playing ;). I live on the west coast in the US, and could be available any time before midnight my time. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
