I would have opened all except W (and maybe even that if my partner was a robot).

This has nothing to do with Natural Bidding unless we are in a loony bin (insert politically correct alternative).

Bot playing is a game with the exact same rules as bridge. But is a different game nonetheless.

Good auction. Both pairs were on the clock for slow play and were on the verge of being penalized. Passing the board out got them back on schedule.

I know quite a few Acol players who would genuinely have opened this hand 2♣ prior to ER25.

The Definition
A hand containing
(a) 23+ HCP if balanced or semi-balanced or;
(b) 20+ HCP if unbalanced (with allowance for distribution – 1 point for every card after the ninth card in the two longest suits)

Note: Losing trick count, alone, is not adequate for determining whether a hand qualifies as a Game Force hand.

This, or one of the many other rules

And when it is both, you are at the the table of the mobility challenged pair who for some reason usually turn out to be tough opponents :)

Maybe in real life:
1♦ 1♠ 2♣ 4♠;
X P 4NT(RKCB♦) P;
5♠(2+Q) P 6♦ P;

I don't know who the RA was for this, but in ACBL I don't think you can do that.

It would be legal Open/+ Chart for those who Alert their 2♣ openers (because they are not Very Strong). It is Average, because it is rule of 19 (rule of 20 even).

But yeah, I hope that's a joke.
