Re: misexplanation ( 13:43:14 SatJul 27 2002 ) Select Action Reply Quote post Report post Last posts Ignore user Global ignore Whisper There are 2 issues here - Unauthorized information and Misinfomation. (See Laws 16 and 75). East is allowed to bid his hand, but must ignore West's misexplanation. He must assume that West took his 2S bid to mean H+minor. West's explanation is UI for East. After the auction is over, if E-W become the declaring side, or after the play is over, if E-W become defenders, they must inform the opponents that the 2S bid was explained incorrectly. N-S may be intitled to redress if they were damaged by the incorrect explanation. If there is no convention card (a procedural violation), the situation is the same, as we are to assume a mistaken explanation, rather than a mistaken bid, in absence of evidence to the contrary. In this case, E should be allowed to bid his hand - 4H seems about right - bending over backwards to not use the UI from partner's misexplanation. -Jim O'Neil

Otherwise, I agree with what Jim says. --- David Stevenson <laws2@blakjak.com> Liverpool, England, UK http://blakjak.com/lws_menu.htm
