Hi

I am using GIB a bit lately

I have the setting fastest for bidding and slowest for play(I am happy to wait I am never in a hurry

do the settings make sense if all I am really interested in doing is practicing play and def (and yes I know I just posted a bidding question earlier today)

Well if you like complicated contracts... Then put the fastest setting in bidding. If you prefer more normal contracts maybe set it slower?

Wayne,
GIB works by generating a set of hands and evaluating how they work out. The slower teh setting, the more hands it can generate and examine, and teh better it will perform. At the fastest setting if it generates just a small number of hands a couple of outliers may distort it's analysis and cause it to select a poor bid.

I have not had the patience for the slow setting, and its fast setting has not played all that well on my machine.

you can use the bridge.exe function and give it hands and see how it bids and set the parameters and change them to see how it acts accordingly.
