terpdrew Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 It seems like the GIB refers to "the Law" sometimes, but then doesn't act on it when it's obvious, such as in this example: http://tinyurl.com/y4vlrrtm Especially in IMPs/vulnerable, as it was, I don't know a human alive that wouldn't automatically bid 4S as North automatically. What happened here? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepossum Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi I'm sure others may have a more "expert" analysis than me but I agree that any normal human or bot would bid 4S under almost any criteria. I'm not a big fan of the law unless it is applied well but it should know it has 9-10+ trumps. A human law player would then compete but maybe not a bot with relatively few hcps. Maybe you could have doubled again but its risky? I also dont know how well it takes account of equal vulnerability and aspects of penalties vs contract in a competitive auction etc. Maybe its analysis showed a better chance of setting 4H than making 4S although that seems surprising. You would need a GiB simulation expert to clarify that I would also bid to 4 using losing trick count Ive been playing a lot with GiB over 8 months and it can be frustrating. However as a program it clearly cannot think flexibly like a human or (dare I say) a more advanced bot Just put it down as one of those annoying things and have an occasional rant like the rest of us regards P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
