Hi, I’ve been meaning to post on this for a while and what happened today in deal 16 was last straw. I understand that GIB’s strategy is IMP not Matchpoints but most of us hires robots for the Pairs Tournaments, right? Kindly check the link for deal 16, https://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=8146-1592910000&u=otangu&v3b=web&v3v=5.6.3 for otangu Deal 14: A heart was ruffed with the trump K and later GIB plays trump 10 and overtakes with the Queen. After ruffing the diamond lead in the first trick, most of us would lay down the Ace at least to see how the suit breaks. Deal 16: Contract is 1NT and after an unsuccessful club finesse, Robot gains the lead and plays another club to Dummy and finesses again. Had it won with the Jack, the contract would have been made. There are a lot of playing techniques explained in the “Play of the Hand” textbooks and Robot accommodates almost none of them. During the Pandemic, playing with a robot in free tourneys must be a considerable source of income for BBO and they really should invest to improve not only Play of the Hand but defensive play too. Awaiting feedbacks

Hi, During the Pandemic under lockdown measures, many of us have been playing with a Robot in the pairs tournaments. Although the Robot has its own convention card I think it'd be much better to configure the Robot in a way most bridge software do in order to comply with the system and conventions of the human player such as Jack 6 or Bridge Baron. I believe the BBO administration and the management have enough funds to support such a project and I personally don't mind paying one-time fee to own a Robot. Awaiting feedbacks Ozcan Tangu
