The Wednesday Morning Tournament

[@morrisseyDAD]

Well done guys. The streak begins ! B7 was a great lesson in declarer play, I need to rewatch it several times 😊

[@paulmaier6305]

thanks for the "wake up laugh" on #2......."no, no, no no, NO"

[@MariaNordgren-wg4ez]

Well done!

[@dougedwards3537]

Nicely done. Trying to understand the B2 bidding of 1S denies having 4S's (according to the float over), so that means robot would bid 1NT if they had 4S's?

[@wolpertbridge]

Yeah that’s strange. I guess that is what it means.

[@JC-xq2ec]

Wow, over 80%

[@richardpupko5156]

I'm confused about bd 2 auction. The premise seemed to be that the robots play up the line, hence the 1H rebid. But then the 1S bid denied 4S which is inconsistent. If the robots play up the line then how do they show 4 2 5 2 with less than invitational values?

[@paulmaier6305]

#5 shows the limitations of robot "thinking".....if South had a D void, he would have played the 2 of clubs at trick one.

[@richardpupko5156]

On bd 1 ... Do you alert 3H as a "bar bid" , non-constructive? Or do you feel this is so normal it's just bridge?

[@wolpertbridge]

I would alert it if I was playing at the bridge club against people who didn’t know it was a bar bid. If I was playing against experts I wouldn’t.

I am looking for this week’s game - 27 Nov - what’s happened?

[@bridgelesson]

@@Leone640 we had a technical issue with our audio and couldn’t communicate properly to hold a session. Apologies 😢

[@Leone640]

miss you! I rewatched the previous session as a panacea 😊

[@amydutton-qo6eg]

What is the difference between Robot and AdvRobot?

[@bridgelesson]

@@amydutton-qo6eg I think they are very slight differences

[@wolpertbridge]

@@bridgelessonI think they are the same thing. What happened was they started showing which robot you’re playing against. The paid instant tournaments use the advanced GIB that plays 2/1.
