Information on the 2019 LSR is below and the full schedule of events can be found at http://www.acblunit174.org/Flyers/2019_LSR_Final.pdf . My wife and I were in Sedona Arizona last month and we went on a Full Moon hike at Sedona State Park. We started at the Visitors' Cen ter about an hour before sunset and were led by an experienced guide through the park and up to the top of a small mountain just before sunset. We were able to see the sun set behind the beautiful red rock mountains and then turn around 1 and watch the full moon rise in the east. It was spectacular and definitely an "ooh and aah" moment. One of the hikers was from the area and said "we see this all the time…" Well, that got me thinking. How many times do we do or see something all the time and not see the goo d in the moment? My learning from that comment is to try not to forget the awesomeness all around us and to recognize the good things that are happening.

The original intention was to publish the MS. which is referred to in Halliwell's Dictionary (Preface, p. xx) in the following terms : " No printed glossary of Isle of Wight provincialisms has yet appeared; but a very valuable one in MS., compiled by Captain Henry Smith, was most kindly placed at my disposal by his relative, Charles Eoach Smith, Esq., E.S.A. It has been fully used in the following pages." This MS. collection Mr. Eoach Smith has now offered to the Society, and has added to this the favour of editing it himself, with all such corrections and additions as seemed to him to be most advisable.

  • Rosenkrantz, Responsive, and Snapdragon Doubles
    Rosenkrantz, Responsive, and Snapdragon Doubles By Neil H. Timm Some doubles are intended to communicate specific information to your partner in the 2/1 Game Force System, depending upon how they are used. In this Bridge Bit, I will discuss Rozenkrantz, Responsive and Snapdragon doubles. Depending on your agreement each “double” is used to convey very different information. “Responsive”, “Rosenkranz”, and “Snapdragon” doubles occur in very similar, yet unique bidding situations, and the messages are very different. Most doubles are not alertable; however, all these doubles are alertable. Responsive Double when Overcaller Doubles for Take-out A “Responsive” Double is a Take-Out double by a Responder to the Overcaller following an immediate raise in the same suit, most often at the 2- or 3-level over Partner’s Takeout Double. The double is Responsive and not for Penalty. How high do you agree to use the Responsive double? Many use 3♠/4♦/4♥. If you do not want the opponents to steal the bid, it can also be undefined =∞. Now Partner can pass or correct. Examples 1♣/1♦ X 2♣/2♦ X*= Responsive This Responsive double shows both majors. With one major, bid it do not use the Responsive double. 1♥/1♠ X 2♥/2♠ X*=Responsive This Responsive double shows both minors. If you have 4 of the other major, say 4 spades over a X followed by 2 hearts, you should bid 2♠ do not use the Responsive double! What do you do over; two spades because now your bid is at the 3-level if you hold 4 hearts.

  • Responses: Non-Forcing Stayman
    Bridge Bulletin Standard C effective January 2017 Bridge Bulletin Standard is the bidding system used by the panelists for It=s Your Call. It is loosely based on popular Standard American and 2/1 treatments commonly used by duplicate players in North America. It is more than SAYC, but less than a full-blown 2/1 system. Although there may be superior bidding approaches, BBS is designed to allow the majority of ACBL players the ability to make an informed decision on each of the monthly bidding problems. It doesn=t cover every situation, but is intended to be a general systemic framework. 1NT = 15B17 HCP Responses: Non-forcing Stayman. Jacoby and Texas transfers. 3Ê/3Ë = natural, invitational to 3NT. 3Ì = 5B5 in the majors, invitational; 3Í = 5B5 in the majors, forcing. Four-suit transfers (accept in minor by bidding the suit). Smolen (game forcing). Lebensohl (fast arrival denies stopper). Gerber in notrump sequences; Roman Key Card Gerber after Stayman. 2NT = 20-21 HCP Responses: Stayman, transfers (Jacoby and Texas). 3NT = gambling: solid minor suit, no outside ace or king. Opening bids of 1Ì or 1Í are usually at least five cards in length. Responses: 1NT = one round force by a non-passed hand. Jump raise = invitational. 2NT = forcing raise (three-level rebids = shortness, four-level rebids = second five-card suit). 3NT=good preemptive raise to 4Ì or 4Í Splinters. Reverse Drury. Jump responses in non-competitive auctions = strong by an unpassed hand. Jump responses in competition = weak by an unpassed hand. Jump responses in competition = fit-showing by a passed hand.
