Sounds a bit like crowing, sorry, but couldn't resist recording for posterity what I think is a personal best for me. Maybe I shall have to stick to playing at 05:00 in the bath. I expect all y'all have done better.

MP, best hand South, Instant, Pro GIB 30 (at my table).

A couple of baby psychs by me, but nothing outrageous, and some I might have tried with a human partner.

East's 4C on hand 1 is worthy of bringing to the attention of the programmers.

I just got very lucky on hand 2. Should have stuck to NT really. Expecting 4S to be passed was real pie in the sky stuff.

Failing to double on 4 was a lost opportunity as we are making 3H. (Joint) worst result of the set.

Refreshingly and pleasantly surprised with hand 8. In a previous generation GIB North would pull 1N to 2H in the expectation of at least doubleton support.

Shame it wasn't a 55% Rebate, but of course the quality of the human opposition is much higher there. Can't draw too much inference from an 8 board match, I know. I have scored in the low 30s on some occasions.

This was the hand 1 that I mentioned above:




Understandably, declarer eschewed the ruffing Heart finesse, as I had promised the Ace for my 1N opener. Phew! But the bidding is the thing. 3CX. Ouch.

Once again GIB refuses to defend against a 3C doubled contract with a 6-card stack against the declarer. Do you suppose we have identified a "glitch"?
