I play more duplicate bridge than any computer game (SEIV included). Just yesterday we got 65.5% game ! Here is the link: http://www.manchesterbridge.co.uk/monday.php
Woah! Congratulations - 65% is pretty darn good! My wife & I bid a modified KS with 12 to 14 point NoTrumps. Would we fit in with your club?
(I have always hear that English ridicule Americans for their security blanket of the 'strong' no trump... I am assuming your are English from the url.)[/QB]Thanks ! Even though I live in UK, I learned bridge when I was in Texas (Austin). So we play "modern Standard American" - 2over1 GF.
Most people here still play Acol (4card Majors, 12-14 NT, strong twos). I suspect our bidding system gives us more tops than my card playing ability deserves. People very often play in NT with 8-card fit in majors or wind up in 4-3 fit. You would do very well playing Kaplan-Sheinwold !
