michaelbey Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 When a defender concedes all the remaining tricks his partner has no say in the matter and that's wrong. Only declarer sees the claim (concession) and has the option to accept or reject. I think the partner of the defender making the concession should also be given the option to accept or reject. As an example, East got impatient and conceded all (5) remaining tricks and Declarer accepted. When in fact West a master trump and could not overrule his/her partner. Declarer may have been greedy or has forgotten about the outstanding (master) trump; that's besides the point. The main point is to allow the other defender to have a say in the matter. Such an "error" does not occur in f2f bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe, actually, that the game played on BBO can legally call itself Bridge, but there you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 I played backgammon online against a player named Vampyr! Could that be you? No, I have not played backgammon online in years. So many that I don’t even remember my nickname on FIBS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
