Flame Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I admire BBO.I think adding robots was a good idea.I think adding money bridge was a good idea.But im sorry to say that the play of GIB on money bridge is a shame for BBO.The way GIB play is not suitable for real money play. I wouldnt be surprise if someone will sue BBO for letting GIB play in money.I dont believe BBO staff really know how GIB play, i think BBO staff think it play more or less sensible but its not.I will continue to play in money with it, i think its fair because its bad for everyone but i do think its something that must be changed and think BBO lose because of it since many players will not play with such a bad bridge player (not sure if its good enough for the title of bridge player).I hope BBO staff will check how gib really play, i dont believe that if they knew they would let this thing continue.

fred Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Believe me, we know very well how GIB plays. We are not happy about it either and we have been putting a lot of time and effort into improving things. This is very difficult work, but we are making good progress. Expect to see a new and improved version soon which most likely will be the first of many new and improved versions. Thanks for your patience and for your very rational attitude that all players are at the same disadvantage.

Fred GitelmanBridge Base Inc.www.bridgebase.com so will there also be a update for those of us who have the commercial version I can't say for sure, but I think it is likely that we will eventually release an upgrade for people who have bought a GIB CD-ROM. The improved version of GIB that plays on BBO in Money Bridge Tournaments, Robot Race Tournaments, and the Play Bridge for Money area will probably be released soon. The timeframe for an upgrade to the GIB CD is completely unclear at this point, but I doubt it will happen soon. By "soon" I mean a matter of days or weeks.
