Now for GIB 4♣ is natural, but as it does not deny the 5-card ♥, I really don't get the Pass, but I assume it is because BEN never had been trained with that sequence.

Annoying that BEN is not bidding the same each time
23 players saw BEN bid the very strange 2♥
One lucky player got the more natural 2♠ and scored 100%.
Also worth noting the failure to cover ♠9 at trick 7.

Testing two different models from BEN in the wild I noticed this strange situation.
Just to clarify: I am using the Open Source version of BEN as participant in the BEN and Freinds daily, so there are 4 BEN's but one (south) is not controlled by BBO
e
Down 1 and a fine score of 64%
Using the new bidding model all was the same until trick 6, where BEN suddenly found a much better plan.
Making an overtrick and a score of 1.2%
Please remove the randomness in the BBO-BEN

I am not sure anyone still read this thread :-)
But this is interesting, because BEN haven't been trained in the default GIB system
Explanation is correct, but BBO-BEN just passed.
And yes, the south hand is not good enough for 4♥, but I will discuss that with the open source version of BEN.

It is refreshing not to have Best Hand deals. Closer to real bridge. Still needs some work though

If you are interested in playing with the Open Source version of BEN (Not the BBO version) I might be able to set it up.
As a start feel free to challenge the Robot on BBO (Name is TwoOneBEN). In a challenge you will play 3 GIB-robots, and the compare with your opponent. Then you can get an impression of the strength and especially weaknesses of the robot.

Is this a bidding misunderstanding? https://tinyurl.com/ytepqw8f

Very unlucky hand where ♣A was in the wrong hand. And very unsporting of you to double.

Auction seems to scream for a low club lead.
(I'm still trying to figure out how I scored more than 50% on this hand, though

Inconsistent bidding.

South open 1N once, and 1♥ 38 times

As far as I can see we got two different defences but bidding and play was identical up the point

And a couple of days ago, a 1.7% board for me because the defense differed at my table only.
It seems Ben and lorserker have met the same fate as GIB and jdonn

Updated the robot in Ben & Friends.
If you run into oddities, please raise them.

I'm not sure if this is a Ben error or a BBO error, but I'm currently stuck on the first board of the Goulash with Ben Daily.
I've bid to what I assume will be the final contract, but instead of passing out the Ben sitting East hangs. After a bit the table closes with an "An error has occurred...GIB Ask Failed: ERROR(2): Robot Error" message. Reopening the table leads to the same issue.

The goulash game was mis-configured, sorry about that. We removed it and we'll post it again tomorrow.
Thanks for letting us know.
