As always, our goal is to provide information and to foster change for the better in a manner that is entertaining, instructive and stimulating. The ACBL Board of Directors is testing a new appeals process at NABCs in 1999 and 2000 in which a Committee (called a Panel) comprised of pre-selected top Directors will hear appeals at NABCs from non-NABC+ events (including side games, regional events and restricted NABC events). Appeals from NABC+ events will continue to be heard by the National Appeals Committees (NAC). We will review both types of cases as we always have traditional Committee cases. Panelists were sent all cases and invited to comment on and rate each Director ruling and Panel/Committee decision. Not every panelist will comment on every case.

  • Glossary of Bridge Terms
    GLOSSARY OF BRIDGE TERMS Alert When your partner makes a conventional bid you must alert this to the opponents by knocking the table (or displaying the ‘Alert’ card if using bidding boxes). Auction Another term for the bidding. Avoidance An attempt to prevent a particular defender from regaining the lead. Balanced A hand containing no void, no singleton and not more than one Hand doubleton. Barrier When planning your opener's rebid, imagine a ‘barrier’ just above your first suit at the next level up. A new suit rebid below the barrier shows 12-15 points (occasionally 16 or 17 points after a 1 level response when opener doesn’t have enough for a jump shift). A new suit rebid above the barrier that isn’t a jump shift shows 16-19 points (also known as a reverse). Blocked A suit is blocked if there is a high card in the short hand that prevents the suit from being cashed. A player will often aim to unblock the suit. Break The way in which the defenders’ cards in a particular suit are divided between their two hands. For example, a 4-2 break indicates that with 6 cards in a suit missing, one defender has 4 cards of the suit and his partner has 2 cards. Also referred to as split. Cash Playing a card that is certain to win the trick. This card is known as a master. Clear a suit Knocking out the opponents’ last stopper in a suit, after which it will be possible to cash one’s tricks in the suit.

It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

  • 5. Advanced Declarer Play
    Think and Play Advanced Declarer Play Advanced Declarer Plays: Elimination (or Strip) and Throw-in Plays Trump Coups Squeeze Plays All these plays have two things in common. They require: • a specific distribution to work, and • the defender who is being subjected to this play has no idle card which can be used to escape the trap. The opportunity to use squeeze plays and trump coups are rare, but elimination and throw-in plays (often just called end plays) can occur at least once in a session. Trump Coups (Rare) Trump Coups are a means for declarer to avoid losing what appears to be a certain loser in trumps. For a standard trump coup, the defender with the apparent trump trick is sitting under declarer’s long trump suit which is in his hand or dummy, and to achieve the trump coup declarer must reduce that long trump suit to the same number as the problem defender before playing through the defender’s hand. This requires declarer to have: • a shortness in a suit in the hand with the long trump suit, so that she can ruff this suit to reduce her trump length, and • sufficient entries to the hand with the long suit to effect the ruffs, plus one more to get back to the other hand to lead through the defender. The defender’s distribution must also be such that she cannot ruff an off- suit while both declarer and dummy must follow to it. Trump coups can be single reduction, right up to quadruple reduction. Example: Double Reduction Trump Coup ♠ AKxx Contract 6H by South ♥ xx Lead QC ♦ KJx ♣ Axxx ♠ Jxx ♠ xxx ♥ x ♥ Jxxx ♦ 109xx ♦ Axx ♣ QJxxx ♣ xxx ♠ Qxx ♥ AKQ10xx ♦ Qxx ♣ K Declarer wins the KC and draws trumps only to find West showing out on the second round.

  • The BGB Autumn Simultaneous Pairs
    The BGB Autumn Simultaneous Pairs Thursday 14th October 2010 11 Dear Bridge Player Well I hope you enjoyed that set of hands ! It seems ages ago that I dealt them - but in case you were wondering, I dealt them myself, and they haven't been altered in any way - just ordinary deals, not selected ones. Our thanks go to Julian Pottage for the commentary ... I wonder if he has managed to get it right again this time! Results from the Simultaneous Pairs will be scored live on www. ecatsbridge.com as normal - hopefully your club will be able to up- load the results directly to the server either later this evening or to- morrow and then those of you with Internet access will be able to log on and see your local club result as well as the overall results, which are scored dynamically as soon as the results are uploaded. Thank you for taking part in this event ... I hope you enjoyed yourself, win or lose, and that you will play in some more Simultaneous Pairs events in the future.
