Claiming vs GIB


Recommended Posts

When competing in challenges, I like to claim the rest, and I like the claim feature. However, sometimes I claim when opponents lead. The fact that the only option is to concede all the tricks is frustrating, even more so when I make the offer to concede the rest rather than claim the rest.

 

Can something be done, either making claiming the rest impossible on opponents lead or allowing me to select the number of tricks as if it were my lead? Or at the very least make conceding an impossible number of tricks (e.g. if I'm the only one with trumps left) impossible?

They already did something (as of a few weeks back). If you try to claim 0 tricks, the claim button is greyed out (unless you check a confirmation checkbox), so you never accidentally concede all tricks. Perhaps you're still using the old version somehow - try clearing your browser cache or similar.

This is raised periodically as an issue over the years. I can't be arsed to dig back far enough in the forums but it was explained that this was a non-trivial fix because it is something deep in the guts of GIB that controls it.

 

Recently, they softened the impact by inserting an "are you really sure" prompt, which is an improvement and probably the best that can be expected.
