Free daylong tourney



I may have overbid the hand and I somewhat get that GIB plays randomly when it doesn't see a difference, but here it proved very costly to pop up with the Q! (trick 7)

Who was it who said that GIB usually defended double dummy and rarely made mistakes :P Actually I agree on this one that GIB defended this hand double dummy. B-)

since south is a bit light did GIBBO think the dK was with south anyways so it used an extension of "play the known card" principle. i wonder......

If anything, it is an extension of the "play any random card" principle. "Play the known card" assumes that the opponent knows you have a specific card which is not the case.

Hmm... may not "know" but almost certain you will take d hook. Though is an extreme manifestation.
OR what I harp about. GIBBO is out of resources and picks a random card

Gib when it has determined there is no difference in card played will make a random choice.
