- Board 12 from the 05/25/2020 Common Game
- You are correct.
- Board 9 from the 05/25/2020 Common Game
- You cannot be 4C. Given the major suit distribution a "crazy auction" is understandable. East-West did well to find their club fit. The question I have is why South passed your 1H opening. South has a good 6-card suit. Passing just makes it easy for the opponents. You are not ...
- Board 7 from the 05/25/2020 Common Game
- You are correct
- Differentiate Forcing from Not?
- You can have a 5-5 hand which doesn't merit Gazzilli, but wants to accept the invitation. Good to have a way to clarify choice of partials from choice of games.
- Virtual Club Director Zoom presentation
- Two of the problems on BBO are disclosure of failures to self alert or self announce, and providing misinformation. In a face to face club game, declarer or dummy would disclose these problems when the auction is over. A defender would disclose this after play completes. Either way, the director ...

- Bidding in competition (when all players are bidding)

- The New Jacoby-2NT
- A picture bid shows shape and concentration of values. It shows or denies a control in a side suit.
- Board 16 from the 03/02/2020 Common Game
- If playing 2/1 Game Force, my preference would be to show the heart fit and cue bid to ensure partner has a club control before launching RKC.
- Board 1 from the 02/10/2020 Common Game
- The advance to 2S dramatically understates the offensive potential of North's hand. North knows there is a big fit and shortness in both hands. If South is weak, 4S has preemptive value. If South has a decent hand, the 2S advance will likely lead to a missed game. If ...
