phoenix214 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 That set was somewhat crazy - I have not gone done in so many game to be honest. I guess I was bidding them a bit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Gordon and I have played two 12-board MP non-BH. He won each of them 54%. http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:06bc8568.3200.11e6.a318.0cc47a39aeb4-1465888637http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:f03629b5.3245.11e6.a318.0cc47a39aeb4-1465918664 In the first match there were only 5 swing board, he won 3. In the second match there was just 1. I was expecting something like that in the second match, they were all pretty boring hands. The swing board in the second match hinged on an opening lead decision, which saved an overtrick.[hv=pc=n&s=sjt92ht7dqj9ckt52&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=1n(15-17)p2d(Transfer)p2s(Super-accept%2C%202!S)p3d(Re-transfer)p3hp4hppp]133|200[/hv]What do you lead? We both led a trump. I led the 7, Gordon led the 10. Trumps were QJ863 opposite A542, and Gordon's lead induced declarer to finesse the 8 into North's then-singleton 9 on trick 2.

In all honesty, I would lead ♠J at trick 1. And I think the critical decision point would come much later in the deal.... When the robot leads ♥Q from dummy and North covers, it probably makes sense to drop the ♥10 on it. And although gordontd's opening lead worked this time, I think in principle the lead of the 10 from the trump suit is not optimal in theory.

I would lead the jack of spades too, but dropping the ♥10 would never work. Who plays the ten from T9x there when a certain trick has been set up? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Gordon and I completed our remaining 2 matches now, and I won these two. 58% http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:dbba85ff.3305.11e6.a318.0cc47a39aeb4-1466001093 8 pushes, 3 wins for me62% http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:6eb68816.330c.11e6.a318.0cc47a39aeb4-1466003917 9 pushes, 3 wins for me So the overall result was Barmar: 25.5Gordontd: 22.5 35 of the 48 boards were pushes, and I think most of them were the DD result (but there were a handful where the robot was declaring and it dropped a possible trick).

barmar Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 One of the swings on the last match hinged on what to bid when you have a minimum 2=3=5=3 opener. The auction goes (unopposed) 1♦ 1♠ 1NT 2♥. Do you pass (Gordon's choice) or take preference back to responder's first suit (mine)? Responder was actually 5=4, so I think my contract was more comfortable (Moysians are not great at low levels). Both contracts are makable double dummy, but Gordon didn't find the line.
