Sorry if this was before, searching for 'GIB' is not allowed...

I really enjoy playing the Anonymous IMP game in your application. If I understood it right, all players play the same South hand and other three players are played by GIB.

I think it would be great if I could compete not only against other players but against GIB reference - i.e. a table where South is the fourth GIB player.

Thanks!

A similar request was suggested here in relation to robot tournaments generally

No reason why it should not be extended to anonymous games, I guess, except for cost.

The anonymous games are not duplicate, everyone is playing different hands, there are no comparisons.

That does not entirely eliminate the benefit of seeing a comparison of how a robot would have handled the hand.

But it would somewhat reduce the benefit of purchasing GIB.

Thanks, yes it is the same idea.

I could hardly believe that someone who would've bought GIB won't do that because of this very limited added function. But viewing from a different perspective this function might make someone actually buying GIB for more advanced features.

And as of my understanding anonymous play is actually duplicate and has a great comparision.

Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about the "Just Play Bridge" game you get to from the www.bridgebase.com home page:

There are no comparisons. There's a leaderboard based on total points.

No, I speak about the Play anonymously option on the szart page of the BBO mobile app. (Try it! :))

That's similar to opening a table with robots in the regular BBO application, except you don't have to pay for robot rental, and you're only being compared with other anonymous players.

This is just intended to be a sampler, not have the full features of the real app. So even if we add a GIB reference result to the regular apps, we might not add it to the anonymous game.
