hi all,
i wonder if anyone care to explain, what to type or how to use various command while playing or bidding, for example:
a. how to type cards type (spade, heart, d, c)?
b. how to use "explain" command to request partner explaination to his/her bid?

thank you.

Better to ask in BBO support but anyway you don't use the explain button to explain partner's bid but rather your own in open bridge tables.

In Options, there is a tick box labelled 'Keyboard entry for bidding/play". Tick that, and now when you type "2s" during the bidding, you will make a 2 bid.

In the play, make sure you always type the suit first: otherwise it will select a random card from your hand.

Example, a spade is led and hearts are trumps and you hold void, AKJ82, 6, K42. If you accidentally type "2h" instead of "h2" you could easily find yourself discarding a club on this trick.
