The robot refused to set the contract with the ♣A, and let them made the doubled game!

Why torture yourself with bots? :)

Good defense by GIB to hold the contract to making 3. Lesser robots would have allowed an overtrick.

There really should be a forum for GIB posting about all of the countless things its human partners do wrong.

Hello! For my own education, I'd be curious to know ops change in position should Gib have taken the setting trick. I have not looked at the hand closely, but it is possible that taking the ace would have opened up other lines of play. In the event that it would have been the setting trick, knowing the point change between the two outcomes would be helpful in knowing how to play with Gib in the future.

Lastly, it would be helpful for those with program simulators to run 5000 deals to see what average results would be with different lines of play. As David Bird notes in "Winning Duplicate Tactics," a single deal means nothing, but the good player plays to maximize outcome over many deals. Best regards.

Mike
