Bbradley62 Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 There's probably a technological reason why this isn't already done, but I thought I'd submit the request anyway... It would be very nice if passes were explained, similar to the way bids (and doubles) are explained. This would include previews. Some of these explanations would be very vague (initial passes would probably simply be explained as "11- total points"), but at least it's something. Sometimes, of course, the explanations would be much more helpful. This post might belongs in the Suggestions for Software forum, so mods should feel free to move it.

I just had a hand where Pass was explained, and quite helpfully. I held AKQx, AKx, A, AJxxx and opened 2C. Pass by LHO, 2D by GIB partner, Double on my right. I wanted to pass but checked the explanation, which showed the normal point range but added "forcing to 2NT" seemed perfect I did pass and partner found a jump to 3S! Thought about 7 but didn't really see a way to explore so I just bid 6S. Had to find the CQ for 7, which I didn't so it was fine, at least at IMPS.
