Interesting Play Hands / A great asking bid example hand
« on: August 13, 2018, 07:20:31 PM »
This is a pre-release of Roger's Finds #27 (as found in aaBridge)
You need to download and play the lin file.
When you do you will see a great example of an Asking bid sequence. It is written up for
a) NON OCP'ers to get them to visualize the "answerers" hand.
b) for novice Asking bidders to decide what they would ASK next.

Interesting Play Hands / Re: This what happen when you refuse to set the contract
« on: April 09, 2018, 01:15:38 PM »
I have made a "problem format" of this hand, see the thread
http://ocp.pigpen.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1257.0
A big thank you to Walid for for including the tiny URL.
FYI - you can copy the text of ANY (BBO) tiny URL and drop it on to an open aaBridge window.
That way it will open and NOT automatically show you the Opps cards.

Interesting Play Hands / How to use the LIN files that Oliver adds to his posts
« on: September 26, 2017, 09:21:38 AM »
How to use the LIN files that Oliver adds to his posts
Very kindly Oliver has started adding lin files to his post in this forum.
If you download them (there is a link on each post) you can then play them on aaBridge by dragging and dropping them on to an open aaBridge window.
http://rogerpf.com/aaBridge
Windows users who also use Chrome have a very easy time. You can click on the link to the lin file (as supplied by Oliver in his post) then when you see the file appear in the bottom LEFT hand corner of the browser window you can click on it and it will open in aaBridge.
OR you can upload them to BBO and even step through them there!
Reading Oliver's text WHILE watching the play makes for a far more beneficial experience.
and again ty Oliver.

Interesting Play Hands / Re: When Opps Drop the Ball...
« on: September 21, 2017, 11:00:58 AM »
I am puzzled why either of you were "not getting" the other.
Oliver has been kind to us by supplying the lin file so all one needs to do in play it in aaBridge (which will, being java, even run on Brian's Linux) and it there in a "straight from BBO" layout.
(and a couple of clicks and it can be rotated to Oliver's preferred viewing point).
and TY Oliver for the lin files

Interesting Play Hands / Re: Two Endplays
« on: September 14, 2017, 09:59:38 AM »Roger it's quite a lot of fiddly work to do that...
No - not at all these days it is v. simple.
In Chrome
in your MyHands just click the lin file link(s) and it will download.(Of course - You can now see the download file(s) in the Chrome window lower left)
In the post click - Attachments and other options and for each file
Click - Choose file
It does not matter where it opens you can Drag and Drop each of the Chrome files FROM bottom of the CHROME window into the attachment window and select it.
Honestly it will only take seconds - no fiddling, no editing.
(see the two lin files attached to this post)
Why the lin files are needed
It's not the opps cards that matter.
The rest of us need to follow the play - it's just too hard, too exhausting for most of us.
You for forget how skillful you are. The rest of us need all the help we can get.
The hands soon expire from MyHands - so it's capture them when you write or they will be gone.
Final Appeal
This sub forum is a great outlet for your Bridge writing. As an author surely you want as many people as possible to be able to follow what you say and not just read it ?

Interesting Play Hands / Plea for attaching the lin files
« on: September 13, 2017, 06:48:02 PM »
Dear Oliver
Please could you attach the BBO lin files to your wonderful posts.
Makes them much easier to follow so much more enjoyable.
I have attached the two lin files that match your post - 2 End plays
See the attached lin files.

Interesting Play Hands / Oliver's Big Mistake
« on: September 13, 2017, 06:09:01 PM »
Oliver's Big Mistake
OK I fully admit that the title is just click-bait. But Oliver was sitting South and DID play the wrong card.
As you will see it is hardly possible to find the correct card even double dummy.
However it is an amazing little squeeze / throw-in / avoidance - you name it.
FYI - Neither of 2 subsequent "best play by both sides" continuations that are given were actually played.
Please download and play the attached lin file.

Dealer Scripts / Fun Slam Bidding script
« on: September 05, 2017, 11:23:29 PM »
Fun Slam Bidding script
Attached is the script file and an example 40 hands for upload to BBO.
(you can of course just directly use the script on BBO).
The script will generate combined hands which are mostly around the 29 - 33 hcp mark BUT it will also throw an occasional low ball (23+) to keep you on your toes.
This script has no HOT seat, so both North and South are equally likely to have the highest hand.
For instructions as to how to use the script system see the post "pinned" at the start of this sub forum.

Dealer Scripts / Re: 1S over 1H or pass?
« on: February 05, 2017, 10:36:28 PM »Great Brian. I didn't realise one could do this within bbo. Saves me looking for a different tool. Thanks
Hi Ash
You can do it on BBO but the correct place is
http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/dealer/dealer.php
I still think it is better to run the dealer locally
