On hand 5 (doing the playthrough on the site), the robot Passes in 1st seat with 13 points, which must be wrong. I don't see a 'contact us' button anywhere (just watched your video on youtube about this new beta feature).

Thanks for reporting this issue. We appreciate it. We will look into it. The '? Contact Us' button is at the bottom right of the screen. It is a black box with white text on it.

gavin, hi ! #4 : 1d 1h 3h 3s asks for shortness, as per your agreement with warren. what are the responses to 3s ? if bidding was 1d 1s 3s, what would be the bid to ask for shortness and what would be the responses ?

First step asks, then step 1 = no shortness step 2 = low shortness step 3 = high shortness So 1m-1S-3S-3n = asking for shortness

B5 If South reopens with 4♦ after 1♣-(1β™ )-X-(3β™ )-p-(p), should North choose the heart game, the diamond game or try for ♦ slam? I feel that 4♦ shows a very strong hand (especially when they are missing ♦AK) and slam is hopeful. B6 Do you recommend playing "opps can't play under 2NT undoubted" over west's XX?

Gavin WolpertTeacherMay 31, 2023

They should choose a heart game. To be honest with you I've pretty much never seen this auction, you should basically always be starting with double. Board 6: No I reccommend they cant play under 2 of our suit undoubled.

Sorry to open INT. I know the ACBL rule; however, I thought you said the Europeans allow it. Because I thought international people were playing, it was allowed. I won't do it again. My apologies to our opponents.

Gavin WolpertTeacherMay 31, 2023

Nice of you to come and apologize, but I wasn't worried about who did it or what happened. It was just a learning experience for everyone. I'm glad it happened. FYI I had no idea who did it until you said so :)
