Hopefully history teaches us lessons at the table and in life. This issue will begin exploring the attributes of the street smart Bridge player.<\/p>\n<p>The results from the Chicago Summer 2006 NABC tourney are in, and BridgeHands has posted the tourney results, bulletins, and appeals. As always, most of the appeals deal with hesitations, changes in tempo, and unauthorized information. The remaining Laws rulings often provide interesting insights into the minds of the director and the appeals committee. How close is close when it comes to a played card from declarer\u2019s hand? How about when it\u2019s a change of call in the dummy from \u201cruff\u201d to \u201coverruff?\u201d And what about when a Grand Life Master faces her 6 remaining cards, begins to describe the claim, retracts the faced cards and wants to continue play? Sometimes the interpretation of the Laws can work in strange and wondrous ways!<\/p>\n<p>BridgeHandshas joined the \u201cWeb 2.0\u201d crowd, adding multimedia audio and an interactive blog (that\u2019s short for a weblog) to our site.
