u can see ur rating (expert/apprentice/etc) for any game on the respective game page. ive shown an example for hanabi below.

i agree with u that bob knows he must have had duplicates of both r2 & y1 in his hand at the time he discarded both of them. this concept is formalized as Elimination - u can read it at ur leisure! :) but be wary - there are a lot of nuances and edge-cases (some of which i will go over here). le...

ur clue is excellent and very efficient, and indeed it is the best possible clue u can give on ur turn! unfortunately, with the table settings u mentioned, it does not work.
this move is called a Clandestine Finesse, and is a subset of Layered Finesse.

ur red clue means that 132T's leftmost newly touched card (slot3) is playable. that is not true, because r5 is NOT playable! therefore ur clue was wrong, and got misinterpreted by not one but both your teammates.

what is a "skip double bluff"? i dont think any such thing exists. E should not stop after blind-playing w1 or g1, and the reason for this is because C did not react to A's m2 clue in any way, which means C must see m1 on finesse position (or layered) somewhere. since E is the only player ...

i included that link just to better explain what "connect" means, in case i wasnt doing it clearly enough. it might direct u to a Hgroup document, but that doesnt negate anything i said previously. i have played a lot of games on various websites (including BGA) where bluffing out an diffe...

b1 doesnt connect to 3 (it only connects to b2), so alice's clue is a bluff rather than a finesse if possible. Cathy's Connecting Principle explains this idea a bit more clearly. for r3 a bluff is possible, for other 3s it is not possible (because no other 3 is a valid bluff target). this is why, ev...

both very easy questions!

if cathy does nothing, donald assumes he has r3 exactly.
if cathy plays (say a g1), donald assumes he has any 3 except r3 or g3.

i agree with u that 3 Bluffs are not valid bluffs on BGA, they are only allowed in Hgroup. but i think u misunderstand what a 3 Bluff is. a 3 Bluff is clueing a two-from-playable 3 (with either color or number) and making an unrelated card blind-play. as i said before, this is not legal as per BGA c...

If C does nothing, D will bomb looking for b2 because he thinks his 3 is blue. D shouldnt think they have b3. since 1 doesnt connect to 3, D (and everybody else) should assume a bluff over a finesse if possible. if r1 is already played, it IS possible because r3 is one-from-playable. if r1 is not a...
