barmar Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 A backgammon cube instead of X/XX would be fun too, how do you fancy 3N xxxxxx ?I think some form of whist or early bridge allowed this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oryctolagi Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 That was a misquote of a famous quote. Instead of "YOU'RE RIGHT" in the quote, it should be "your right" which completely changes the meaning.Not merely a mis-spelled quote, but a misattributed quote too. Voltaire never actually wrote those celebrated words - they were penned by someone called Evelyn Beatrice Hall, in a biography of Voltaire and his friends, published in 1906. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhchung Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I don't know why people are so hostile to his suggestions. I don't like most of them myself, but they are interesting, and one idea in particular (no overtricks) has real appeal at IMPs. The play would go MUCH faster. It's not as if the game has never changed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
