Like the title says:

Hand from robot tourney

Eleven obvious winners, and only one realistic chance for a twelfth - the heart suit, where the textbook 70% play is small to the jack.

GIB succeeded in doing everything but attempt to set up hearts, including using up all its transportation so that it couldn't even take advantage of a 3-3 heart break, had it gotten one.

In this 10-table MP game, 6NTN was the contract at 9 tables, and it went down one at 8 of those tables. (At the one table it made, it made because West made a bad heart discard.) The bot appears to have a consistent blind spot.

The contract seems to be 6NT, which means small to Jack, and Queen won at any side will lead to shift ( likely ) in clubs for -1.

Unless the doubleton of A is guessed, seems like impossible slam to be made. Well, club lead under A works too.

It doesn't seem like a game GIB to be blamed for. Or you disagree?

That declarer made 6N because East underled A, so North took 3+2+5+2=12 tricks. There was no bad discard.

Ah, yes, at least double-dummy, the defenders should always find the club switch to set it. Nevermind... thats what happens when I play way too late at night.
