That wasn't bridge book, rather "normal" science fiction, like Sheckley or Bradbury. I've recovered a bit more details - 1) at least one of the robots had name like "Robbie" 2)it was a short story, not whole book 3)they spent time in isolated laboratory and anything went wonderful and they were progressing quickly in studying, till one morning scientist found them completely destroyed and then he found they were playing bridge and fight after that. 4) I read it about 35 years ago, so it not recent book. May be it will add anything :)

Would anybody remind me author the book, science fiction, about two (yes, as remember it) robots who played bridge in leisure time and one start cheating, so another one killed him(it?). Thanks.

Yes, he would, but unfortunately we can't change trump once bidding ended. ;) There are no any hearts (which is trump) in South.

Colors, own sounds for different events(30 secs before tournament, start of tournament, start of the deal, etc.), may be even default position for some elements, like warnings in express tournament? It's just inconvenient when information about you will be replaced soon shown on green background at the bottom of the screen, especially if it's replacing exactly same information about your RHO.. I would like place it in center, and if it's about me - see it more clearly, like BIG RED BOX. Can it be it all exists somewhere but i missed it?

I guess I'm just unlucky with claims, don't see the point to create new topic, so I'll add here: Another express tournament, but this time "TCR 90", no diagram, you'll see why. First deal, RHO - robot, at the end I'm claiming with smth like three top trumps. Left opp thinking and when I've been about cancel the claim: "You are not playing in this tournament anymore" or smth like that. Nice. It will correct my TCR for sure. Similar to THIS, except there was no "You'll be disconnected", so they probably already improve it. ;)

I wasn't able read what was in popup second time, as it disappeared instantly, it had Yes-No buttons, but i wasn't quick enough to press anything, concession still possible but looked more like smth automatic. Anyway, if nobody seen it before than probably there is nothing to worry about. Thanks!

Express tournament, as you may see on diagram, EW took 4 tricks and E on lead. Club continuation give fifth trick for defense. At that moment N makes claim for nine (9) tricks total, which i'm rejecting, after several seconds claim appears again for same amount, and momentarily accepted (no time fore reaction). Would please anybody explain me what is going on? I see this behavior second time, but at first occurrence i thought may be I've clicked wrong button.
