lamford Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 [hv=pc=n&s=s6hqj7dq72ck98763&w=sqjt3h982da63cqjt&n=sk874h65dkt95ca54&e=sa952hakt43dj84c2&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=ppp1hp2hdp3c3hppp]399|300[/hv]Matchpoints. In the pub after the game, we often do not believe Deep Finesse, but it is always right and stated EW could only make eight tricks in hearts here. We quickly found the only winning defence, which is an initial diamond lead and North wins and continues diamonds. South ruffs the second spade and can cross in clubs for a second spade ruff. However, when one loads the hand into Deep Finesse (and I just downloaded it again in case my version was corrupted), it does not analyse a heart contract at all, perhaps in disgust at our opponent's auction. It displays the message: "New cache cell: Existing cache Cell: Unexpected Error: INTERNAL ERROR: inconsistent prc won results",under the banner of Deep Finesse Alert. Does anyone else get this error, as it is the first time I have ever seen it? And it handles other hands fine still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 When I press "GIB" on your diagram it produces the correct solution. I thought GIB uses the same DD solver as Deep Finesse. Or is that no longer true? Not that I don't believe you of course, just a suggestion that it might be a problem in the surounding code rather than with the DF algorithm itself.

If anyone has Deep Finesse separately, they can confirm your theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgm Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I receive the same error after inputting the deal. The version is 2014.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamford Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I receive the same error after inputting the deal. The version is 2014.2Thanks. My version is the same, released on May 24 2014. If you swap the eight and ten of spades, it can analyse the hand then! But if you swap the ace and jack of diamonds, so that most leads beat 3H, it cannot do so.

broze Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have had actually had a lot of bugs with Deep Finesse. Sometimes it will take you through to trick 8 and suddenly decide to say that DD is a different number of tricks. I have switched over to Bridge Solver which has given me no trouble at all and has lots of great capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemanjo Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have an old version of DF, circa 2000. It does not have any bells and whistles, only Win and Loss marked against each card in the hand on lead, does not give number of tricks plus/minus like GIB. The solver had no issues in identifying the lead which beats it and subsequent play as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavit1 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I have the 2000 and 2013 versions, both work perfectly. Have removed version 2014 permanently after some bad experiences. All its extra features were useless for me anyway.Shavit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 It uses the same original code base..... As far as i am aware, DF tried to refactor code for later update to make it faster (which it is :) ) ...this may be the source of the bug in the later versions and slipped through the testing suite....
