This pattern is a close relative of 276, which produced may high diamonds. Where are they now?

"more" must be TRUMPS
(including self-trumps)


lower may escape penalty,
will certainly NOT be listed in Results

or of course any OPEN ratings

I've been wondering the same thing.

I don't understand. How do y'all manage to get such high ratings? I have difficulty coming up with anything higher than a 9.3, and almost none are even pearls, let alone diamonds.

Well, one tried and tested method is, as champagne has already mentioned somewhere, is vicinity searching.

I've seen that mentioned, but I don't understand what it means (that terminology thing again) or how to do a vicinity search.
