cloa513 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Its a nuisance that you have play through the cards when sometimes the contract is solid DD. And a worse pain for those who are playing a speed event. So allow claim the rest of tricks against GIBs and they just autoplay it DD.

barmar Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 This has been on our to-do list for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Except that many who play in Robot tournaments do not play very well, so they get simple positions wrong. To give them a tool to play DD would be to give them an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Obviously the criteria for allowing claims has to be more stringent than just "do all DD lines allow declarer to take N tricks?" That's why implementing this is easier said than done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloa513 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 How about just you claim all the remaining tricks then if the claim is false then you lose all the remaining tricks-playing against 3 GIBs. Sure that's not bridge law but most GIB tournament rules are outside bridge law such as its alerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
