mikl_plkcc Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 In a robot challenge, the E/W robots at a 4-robot table correctly bid a game, but at my table, they failed to bid it and let us played in 1♦! The difference was I opened 1♣ having 4-4 in the minors, and the robot opened 1♦. At the all-robots table, the bidding was pretty standard:[hv=bbo=y&lin=pn%7CRobot%2CRobot%2CRobot%2CRobot%7Cst%7C%7Cmd%7C3sqj4h97dkq86cajt3%2Cst52hakq6d2ckq752%2Cs983h2dajt753c986%2Csak76hjt8543d94c4%7Crh%7C%7Cah%7Cboard%2013%7Csv%7Cb%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C1d%7Can%7Cminor%20suit%20opening%20--%203%2B%20%21d%3B%2011-21%20hcp%3B%2012-22%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cd%7Can%7Ctakeout%20double%20--%203-5%20%21c%3B%202-%20%21d%3B%203-4%20%21h%3B%203-4%20%21s%3B%2012%2B%20total%20points%7Cmb%7C2d%7Can%7Cfree%20raise%20--%204%2B%20%21d%3B%206-9%20total%20points%7Cmb%7C3h%7Can%7Cjump%20in%20competition%20--%204%2B%20%21h%3B%2011-%20hcp%3B%2010-12%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7C4h%7Can%7C3-5%20%21c%3B%202-%20%21d%3B%204%20%21h%3B%203-4%20%21s%3B%2016-19%20total%20points%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cmb%7Cp%7Cpc%7Cdk%7Cpc%7Cd2%7Cpc%7Cda%7Cpc%7Cd9%7Cpc%7Cs3%7Cpc%7Csa%7Cpc%7Cs4%7Cpc%7Cs5%7Cpc%7Ch5%7Cpc%7Ch9%7Cpc%7Cha%7Cpc%7Ch2%7Cpc%7Ch6%7Cpc%7Cd3%7Cpc%7Chj%7Cpc%7Ch7%7Cpc%7Cc4%7Cpc%7Cca%7Cpc%7Cc2%7Cpc%7Cc6%7Cpc%7Csq%7Cpc%7Cs2%7Cpc%7Cs9%7Cpc%7Csk%7Cpc%7Cd4%7Cpc%7Cd8%7Cpc%7Chk%7Cpc%7Cd5%7Cpc%7Cc7%7Cpc%7Cc9%7Cpc%7Cht%7Cpc%7Cc3%7Cpc%7Ch8%7Cpc%7Cd6%7Cpc%7Chq%7Cpc%7Cs8%7Cpc%7Cck%7Cpc%7Cc8%7Cpc%7Cs7%7Cpc%7Ccj%7Cpc%7Ccq%7Cpc%7Cdj%7Cpc%7Cs6%7Cpc%7Cct%7Cpc%7Cc5%7Cpc%7Cdt%7Cpc%7Ch4%7Cpc%7Csj%7Cpc%7Ch3%7Cpc%7Cdq%7Cpc%7Cst%7Cpc%7Cd7%7C]399|300[/hv] However, if I opened 1♣, West obviously couldn't bid anything even with 14 HCPs as it had no other 5-card suits. Whether East bid or not after 1♦ is a matter of style here, but here, West shouldn't pass out the 1♦ having 14 HCPs and a singleton ♦!!!!!! A major game was very likely given the information.
