> I assume that now, however, the 2001 minute is about to
be superseded by the 2008 version of L68, which clearly
distinguishes a "concession of the remainder" consequent
on a claim from an "attempt to concede",  and applies L68B2
only to the latter.  Although this isn't explicitly stated, any
other reading would require that both "play continues" [L68B2]
while, at the same time, "play ceases" [L68D], and  I doubt
very much that the WBFLC has a secret minute that tells us
how to manage that.

+=+ I think that the 'concession of the remainder'
and the 'claim of some number of tricks' are synchronous
and inseparable. When the one is taken away so is the
other. The 2001 minute was a clarification of that and
I have no reason to believe there is a change. If I am
right 68D does not apply to something that has ceased
to be.
