thepossum Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 On the point of throwing in my cards but made 100% on the lead :rolleyes: I appreciate as smerriman has pointed out the Bot does not know how to explore for slams in certain cases [hv=https://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?lin=st||pn|thepossum,~~M30969,~~M30967,~~M30968|md|1SKQ654H3DAKJ9CAK7,S973HQ754DQ43CT84,SAJ82HK98DT8752CQ,STHAJT62D6CJ96532|sv|o|rh||ah|Board%2011|mb|2C|an|Strong%20two%20club%20--%2019+%20HCP;%2023+%20total%20points;%20forcing%20to%202N|mb|P|mb|2D|an|2D%20bid%20waiting%20--%20forcing%20to%202N%20|mb|P|mb|2S|an|Opener%27s%20suit%20--%205+%20!S;%2019+%20HCP;%2023+%20total%20points;%20forcing%20to%203S|mb|P|mb|4C!|an|Splinter%20--%201-%20!C;%204+%20!S;%205+%20total%20points%20|mb|P|mb|4D|an|Cue%20bid%20--%205+%20!S;%20!DA;%2025+%20total%20points|mb|P|mb|7S|an|1-%20!C;%204+%20!S;%2011+%20total%20points%20|mb|P|mb|P|mb|P|pc|D3|pc|D2|pc|D6|pc|D9|mc|13|]400|300[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 GIB's cuebidding is broken -as you can see your bid promised 25+ total points. GIB adds up the points and concludes you can't be missing any important cards, so has no need for Blackwood. If you really had 25+ total points, 7♠ would have made. You weren't going to find out anything useful over 4♦ anyway, so just bid 4NT over 4♣ and you're sorted. (Of course, 6♠ goes down, but it's the contract you want to be in.)

thepossum Posted December 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 I appreciate the cue-bidding, point ranges and control checking are broken in certain circumstancesUnfortunately I cannot remember the circumstances during play so rely on pure luckI imagine some look at my 100% and suspect something dodgy at timesI was perilously close to not looking closely and throwing the hand in for a 0% Apparently defensive leads also need some work - although I haven't checked why it picked a diamond to my AceBut maybe the West bot has the same assumption of us having all Aces as the North botIt really assumes South has that many hcps EDIT I did run a Sim and it has approximately 1% chance of defeating the slam on any lead other than a diamond, although maybe my constraints were a bit looser than 25 hcps for South. Small chance of an Ace with East Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
