comment Am I allowed to use archaic words in Quiddler/Scrabble?
However, I highly suggest ninjawords.com instead of dictionary.com Especially if you're playing something that wants obscure words like Balderdash.

Instead of referencing my answer, how about an edit of your answer that includes the relevant bits? Especially since this is the accepted answer.

comment What caused this world-class player' to respond inappropriately to her partner's transfer bids?
I ran the hand through WBridge5 (world-class Bridge AI) and it finished the bidding with 4 diamonds E/W. Outcome being E/W down 1 trick. This was because, as you noted, the AI (South) passed at E's strange behavior.

Isn't it the case that The Brits play 1NT differently from in the US? See: boardgames.stackexchange.com/questions/1463/…

comment What caused this world-class player' to respond inappropriately to her partner's transfer bids?
Do you understand the hands well enough to say what happened? I see not wanting to play in spades, and I see confusion in that the declarer thought his partner was stronger.

comment Dominion - Defeating the Alchemist
Are you sure you're playing this correctly? I believe that you don't discard the card from play until your turn ends, so you'll only get to use him once per turn (per alchemist card).

comment What does it mean to check behind?
Mostly good advice for a normal situation in a cash game. However, like nearly all advice on poker strategy, it depends. There are other factors that affect this decision, so don't take this as a hard and fast rule. This is why I said 'often' in the answer above.

comment When would you buy the Thief in Dominion?
It's a con if you use it indiscriminately for that purpose. However, if you pay attention, it can be powerful to deny someone a card they bought. Still, I agree that it's awfully specialized in when it's useful.
