Usually if you have such a situation, the player in question will say "sry" or something similar. If they keep quiet, well, I never liked the quiet types anyway...

Following the bridge laws a claim has to be made with stating the line of play.

So if you don't state the line of play you expect opps to say "sorry" for not seeing your winning line?

Well perhaps he saw the winning line and thought you where one of the usual BBO-"Experts" you meet every day ......

I will repeat an opinion which I had expressed earlier in a different thread.
Why doesn't the 'Bridge Rules making authority" just ban making claims or concession?
Will save much ill will and even more time.

In ftf bridge this would protract the play interminably. Against good opponents we have been known to claim at trick 1 even if an endplay is involved.

I also remember a match where the first 4 boards where claimed at trick one by the opps and by us and accepted even without the cards being shown, (3 games and one partscore).

If a player has a bad connection the moment someone claims it sometimes will not work (even if the player is dummy). Maybe something like that happened?
