I should quite like an option to send chat to opponents and kibbitzers at the same time, ie to the entire room EXCEPT partner.

Additional chat options to all except partner?

I don't care much. But I really think that the opposite is needed most. Playing with many new partners it is often difficult to have real bridge because the language is interpretated differently. The rules about partnerships dont take care of casual partnerships as this is not so often used in F2F bridge as online.
But when I am host, and I normally am so, all are encouraged to communicate lively over table please in order to avoid natural misunderstandings. Card play based on misunderstanding is NO bridge.
I reality Jack - alertbox is such a feature you ask for. Visible to opps. as well as kibitzers. And what I would like to have is an option to set table so that alerts were visible to partner too. - A simple solution satisfying all I think!

Claus: "Card play based on misunderstanding is NO bridge."
Sorry Claus, imho card play is based on regular misunderstanding for most of partnerships, even top ones, with rare and beauty moments of understanding, some kind of intellectual orgasm
. If pair was lucky to make a series of them, it normally won tournament

No Misho I think you know what I mean. Lets say 2NT as overcall: Minors or unbid?
So simple is a misunderstanding with casual partnerships. And here it makes no sense unless they clarifies.
So you have many, ranges for NT. Now I assume 15-17 with no agreement for bulgarian partners but correct 13-15 for all else. But in fact I ought to check.
If most like me played acc. to correct versions - there would be no problem. The problems here are mostly regarding popular names of systems with many unsolid private versions. There are no problems playing Beznazwy or Regres etc. Only those who knows near to correct versions plays the system.

here I agreee totally with Claus.
I find it very starnge to play with a pick up partner for 100% of time, and when alerting just O and kib will see the alert.
I belive in f2f bridge the normal way is to ask p of the bidder what the bet has to say.
Here they ask the bidder, the bidder give them the info, and partner don't know what we are talking about at all, and he/she is the one that shall respond...strange
I think an option when creating a table "show alert to all" will fix it, and give serious player the abillity to turn it of
Just a thought
Have a nice day
