Let me know about the interesting hands you play and I will put them here.  Tell me what was interesting, the bidding, the play, the defense and I will include that too.  Don't forget. In order to save a bridge movie file, you must open the page with Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox does not open a bbo movie.
 
April 21 Game
Barb and Pat told me that they found board 5 to be a very interesting hand.   You will find it in the following bbo movie.  I found hand 26 to be interesting.  Everyone made 7, but no one bid slam.  To bid slam, one needs to bid controls and play a form of Key Card Blackwood.  In the auction in the movie, opener jump raised spades to show 16 to 18 and four card support.  I prefer splintering if the partnership has that agreement.  You will need bridge base downloaded software to view.  If you don't already have it, go to their site and select download the old software.

What happens when there is a revoke? The revoke law is meant to restore equity not penalize.  The following hand played at CBC helps illustrate how the law works.
