I think the programmers need to teach the robots a lesson I learned the first time I played bridge.

If your partner has bid a suit, LEAD THAT SUIT.

I've noticed this on hand after hand. I bid and rebid a suit, the robot leads something else, the contract makes. It's especially frustrating when the robot holds a singleton or doubleton in the suit I bid. This has happened so many times I think it has been totally omitted from the program.

You're right that the rule you quoted is not a part of the program, so in a sense it's been omitted. There have been several discussions here about this, here's one : http://www.bridgebas...2967-gib-leads/
The short version is that they're aware of that but it's not an easy change and it's unclear whether GIB would defeat more contracts if you added that rule in.
