calm01 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 http://tinyurl.com/735foa8 GIB chose the deceptive lead of 9C at trick 4 - certainly deceived its partner: me! Please do not say it might be simulations that suggested a non-standard lead. To be a reasonable player you must honestly communicate with partner except for rare circumstances and then be prepared to apologise to partner. Of course an apology from GIB doesn't get you very far even in a rare circumstance! So please teach GIB how to employ some kind of normal sytle of leads. Fred may think that GIB defends well - but this cannot be possible until it is taught to use lead tables in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yu18772 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 If its any consolation - I never saw Fred saying GIB defends well, just as well as an average player :Phttp://www.bridgebase.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 As I've said a number of times, GIB only uses lead tables for the opening lead. This isn't likely to change any time soon. It's not that we consider it unimportant, just that we have no idea how to fix it without breaking other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 If its any consolation - I never saw Fred saying GIB defends well, just as well as an average playerHas he really even said that? We have done some studies that make it clear that, despite its weaknesses, overall GIB is much more effective at bridge than the average ACBL Robot Duplicate player.
