Claiming

[1eyedjack]

I posted this hand in the GIB subforum (as an example of Capelletti foul-up by robot), but I am repeating it here for an entirely different reason.

On lead at the conclusion of trick 11 I claimed the rest (my remaining cards being the AK of trumps) for two down.

 

GIB recorded it as a concession of all of the remaining tricks, for contract made.

 

Not a huge issue, still 92.86% of the matchpoints (would have been 100%, obv). and still 1st place in tourney (hee hee).

 

To be fair, the claim button did show "concede all". But my fingers were faster than my brain, and I had already clicked on it before it registered.

 

The point being, that I was aware that depending on context the button may show either "claim" or "concede" (HATE that, by the way). However I thought that when I am on lead, then it defaulted to "Claim"

I think the default should always be claim all, whether you're on lead, or mid-trick or whatever.

You can only claim when you're declaring and you're leading to the trick. When you're defending, you can only concede, regardless of whether you're leading or following to the trick.

 

This is a limitation of the GIB software's claim software.

Yes but please fix this, I fall into this trap every so often... and I do not get used to it (or understand the logic behind).

It is a "feature" already built into the software when bbo acquired it from Matt Ginsberg. Not trivial to fix so we are told. Agree, mind.
