Talk - Undone and Plan C

Undone and Plan C

In Internet Bridge the 'undo' is something you can do to take back a card played or a bid made, usually with the excuse that you clicked wrong. 'K' realised the comic potential when he used it to take back an opponent's card that happened to be the killer play (such as a ruff that made the setting trick). He'd say:

K: try again, wrong card

One day when K requested an undo for real, I said in retaliation:

will: i see K is undoing himself in public again

Similarly when we'd agreed to undo the game back a trick or two, I protested weakly:

will: i am totally undone now

I was declarer trying desperately to get my tricks. I tried a finesse in one suit - it failed. I went for the drop in another suit - it failed as well. Lastly I tried a finesse in a third suit - it worked!! The contract made. In the post mortem, partner said:

partner: Plan C worked out pretty good
