A problem that happens on BBO was solvable on either OKBridge or EBridge and that was if partner is declarer and loses their connection, the dummy becomes declarer. This is important specially in money games.

Uh .... don't you get to see all four hands when you are dummy on BBO?

That would seem to present a bit of an issue, don't you think?
Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that other philosophers are all jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself. H.L. Mencken.

Is that true in Money games too (which is probably the main reason for this suggestion, though I am not sure what "partner losing connection" means is partner is GIB).

btw, off topic: even in main bridge club etc, you can config BBO so that when you are dummy you see only 2 hands (yours and declarers), which can be a good exercise for counting etc.
