proloto

I remember looking through all of his results before the disqualification. Many boards were results of the form (P) - P - (P) - 1m - (P) - 1M - (P) - 3NT where he would open his short minor and rebid 3NT (ostensibly showing a solid 7 card suit) with any minimum. The robots would grossly misdefend and allow him to make silly 3NT contracts because of the freakish nature of the 3NT rebid. I found it very clever and low-risk, but hardly grounds for disqualification. If the robots are too silly to defend against these shenanigans, then power to whoever makes it a priority to take advantage of their weakness.

Why was [name removed] disqualified from winning Day 1 with a 76%?

This works - thank you!

Hello BBO, I've written some software that generates "interesting" hands - i.e. finesses will fail, suits will not split, but there's a squeeze or an endplay that will succeed. I'd like to be able to practice playing these hands against robot defense, but I can't figure out how to do it on BBO. The best I can do is: Convert my PBN file to a LIN file using http://johnfromarran.org.uk/Bridge/ConvertPbnToLin.php In Hand Editor, import my LIN into a New Folder Create a practice table and set the deal source to the folder This almost works, except I can see all 4 hands which kind of defeats the goal of practice. Does this functionality already exist and I'm just not familiar enough with BBO, or is there no way to get the Robots to defend against my practice hands that I have in PBN format? Thanks!
