Ruffing the diamond is 100% and I don’t think I’ve “promised” the !dQ on the bidding (yes, the double was very aggro—not my usual style.) Any idea what’s going on here?

As you say, there is absolutely no reason for it to make that play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 The GIB program sprung an oil leak and overheated due to friction buildup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 What's going on is that GIB sometimes goes into "panic mode" and plays low cards in the last few tricks. For example, when it has 1 high trump, it never ruffs in, it takes it at trick 13 if we don't play trumps ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
