I finished my 2x 16 deals against manudude03. First set manudude03 won 4-2, second one had much more fireworks and I got lucky to win it 40-11, so overall score was 42-15. Sadly I don't know how to link the scores to here, so can't do that.

Edit: Added link to scores using Franks advices.

I'm currently down by 7 IMPs after the first set with jeffford76.

For those who haven't heard from their opponent yet - let's give them a while longer (the weekend may be the best time to play); if they haven't responded or at least posted on the forum within a week of the draw, I'll drop them out and re-pair people who haven't played. MrAce can join in if that is an odd number (or we have another late entry before the round finishes).

Just played my match agaist Eagles. The Robots had more than their share of the cards making it a bit frustrating.

I won the 2nd half by 6 mainly down to a couple of hilarious GIB ***** ups but its not enough - so well done to Jack :)

gl in next round!

Who hasn't reported at this point?

Maybe a reasonable goal is: matches get set on Monday and wrap up by Sunday?

Matches expire in 3 days. So whenever one match is set up, opp needs to accept and play it out within 3 days.

hrothgar is up by 21 at the half of our match, due to 3 game swings his way. All the swings my way were small.

Yes, but we play two segments. Both are dependent on one person setting and the other accepting. Times two.

The 2nd 16 result was:

http://webutil.bridg...743&u=wackojack

Over the 2 rounds +14. Hoping that Rowland might stay in with the least losers.

Here is one hand where the result was identical the bot going down in a making contract. Would a human have taken this decision?

{comments}


The bot can make the contract if it viewed that the opening lead was from Q976 and not 976. At trick 9 the situation was identical at both tables and the opponent bot decided that the initial lead had been from 976 and thus went down. Partner bot's lead was the 6 and it later followed suit with the 9 and then the 6. I am aware that bots can make different decisions in identical situations. Fortunately here the opp bot made the same decision at both tables.
