Original Allegation

The original anonymous allegation is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJyhhuy8WVM. The video is 22 minutes, 41 seconds long. It includes matches from EBTC 2014 including matches against Denmark, Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, Israel, Monaco, Germany, Norway, Turkey and some video from PPL. The claim is that BZ uses hand and finger mannerisms to indicate the honor cards and length in a suit, and also have signals to show different suits.

Quick jumps: List of boards with video/BBO
Balicki gestures (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades)
Zmudzinski gestures (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades)
Combined gestures (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades)
Gestures by match (Denmark, Israel, Netherlands)

BZ played 14 matches in EBTC 2014 on video against Denmark, Netherlands, Israel, Turkey, Romania, Italy, Bulgaria, Latvia, France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Monaco, Estonia. Countries listed by order of appearance on BBO numbers. This is over 28 hours of video.

Mannerisms

The alleged mannerisms are shown by examples:
  • Ace: Rubbing chin or underneath chin with hand.
  • King: Rubbing nose or forehead with hand.
  • Queen: Scratch chest around nipple area with hand. Either hand, either side of chest.
  • Jack: Scratch crotch.
  • Ten: Scratch side of face.
  • Nine: Finger to the neck? (Probably not enough video to confirm so am not tracking)
  • Clubs: tap of right hand. Can be single or double tap. Fingers are on table. Hand is normally on table with knuckles under hand.
  • Diamonds: tap of left hand. Can be single or double tap. Fingers are on table. For B, if his hand is close to the table edge, and he is holding his cards, this is diamonds, even if fist is rotated slightly. Hand is normally on table with knuckles under hand.
  • Hearts: tap of right fist. Fist rotated 90 degrees from the club signal. Hand is normally extended away from edge of table, knuckles pointed towards partner. Rotating the fist from flat to 90 degrees is also the signal. Sometimes making a cup shape with the fist.
  • Spades: tap of left fist. Fist rotated 90 degrees from the diamond signal. Hand is normally extended away from edge of table, knuckles pointed towards partner. If B is holding his cards in his left hand, then a tap close to the table edge is diamonds, extending the fist away from the table edge is spades. Sometimes making a cup shape with the fist.

B/Z sometimes have slightly different mechanisms to show the signal. Video starts 2-3 seconds before the signal. There are almost no documented Z signals because of the camera angles.

Plan

The plan is

  1. Crowd-source the mannerisms for Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten for their first 3 matches from EBTC 2014 by asking volunteers to time stamp all mannerisms.
  2. Catalog the mannerisms and see if BZ have the cards left in their hands
  3. If they do, re-examine the videos looking for mannerisms related to suits and/or length.
  4. Test any hypotheses against the 4th match. Repeat with other matches as needed.
  5. Ask Kit Woolsey to verify the hypothesis with unwatched videos from EBTC 2014

Some received tips are:

  • When BZ declare, see if they 'peek' and then signal. (Note: It was non uncommon in EBTC 2014 for players to show their cards to dummy; similarly it was not uncommon for dummy to lean over and 'ask' to look. Sort of a professional courtesy. You see lots of other players doing this in EBTC 2014. I don't consider with B or Z looking, or asking to look, or peaking to be indicative of cheating - lots of other players were doing this at the time. Just my personal opinion).
