uva72uva72 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 My link Matchpoints, ACBL robot individual If you open the South hand 1♠ and pass East's reopening double, you'll be left to play there and score -300 or -500. If you open the South hand 2♠ and pass the reopening double, you'll be left to play there as well. If, however, you open the South hand 1♠ and rebid 2♠ over the reopening double, you create this surreal masterpiece. I can't imagine that a double by West would be for take-out in this position, but obviously the robot wasn't prepared for this bid. I'm going to add this to my arsenal, along with the psyche redouble that also worked in this position (not as well, but it did work).

iandayre Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Good point, I have seen this several times. Should be addressed by BBO. Mind you I wouldn't try it, since W doesn't always have a penalty pass and you are likely to get in trouble in another way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
