Imagine the disappointment finding the Ace of diamonds had no control at all

Imagine your partner's disappointment in finding that you did not have the promised 4 spades.
Exotic agreements, but they are at least (and illegally) explained to you.

Come on AKx of trumps with all that potential - even a half decent x of trumps too
I can't be bothered thinking of all the combos. But an Ace or void in diamonds even with only 8-9 points
What is wrong with my hand. I dexcribed it fairly well

I get even more upset that the Bot forced to 3NT and some people bid it and made a top

With GiB I never know who to trust more - partner or opps

And if the Bot ever bid clubs we could have found clubs

The point of the post was that the Robot had no control in Diamonds

Cursory sim with void diamonds, Queen of spades and 6-9 points gives around 80% chance of slam in spades or clubs

Ironically the Ace option is much worse but etc - although Ace singleton is around 80% again

Maybe I should increase the points to the top of the range and not just 6-9 points - maybe up to 85% if partner has the right honours

But I will ask again why everyone it seems feels the need to ignore the point of my posts and pcik on some aspect - and they just do it to me for some reason. It just gets boring after all these hyears - and so unoriginal of you all. Some weird power trip against one user

Mahybe exter all your onsutling and patronising energie to people who bid much worse in tourneys and think they are ranked higher than me - I have actually analysed that over many years. My play is probably not the best for MPs but in terms of contract bidding. Play always needs to be improved but you always need the best contract first - it works in business to quite well. They don't usually use MP scoring - oh no something didn't go perefectly etc. And in life even 5-1 is as good as game - possibly even better. I apologise for my partner

But seriously you are saying you look at your South hand with a diamond control and do not consider a slam??

Let's make a new year resolution to stop excpecting intelligent bidding from the bots.

If South had the 25 pts and 4 spades they promised slam wouldn't be that bad.
I'm surprised GIB respected the sign-off bid.
