Mike Holmes: [snip] Let's keep it to bridge. Richard Hills: On Wednesday night I visited the cinema to watch the sing-a-long version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The relevance of this to bridge is that in one scene King Arthur wished to cross a bridge. But his path was blocked by a Black Knight, who gave this ruling, "None shall Pass." Therefore Arthur and the Black Knight fought. Every time Arthur removed a limb from the Black Knight he claimed victory. But the Black Knight insisted on continuing. Likewise, the 2017 Lawbook permits play to continue after a claim (provided that all four players concur).
