Help
I can usually tell when a person plays, whether they r using the function " automatically play singleton". The card is typically played almost as soon as the preceding player has played a card. I suggest that the program have an automatic delay of 1 sec or 1/2 second (or whatever time period seems normal reaction time for a human player) prior to automatically playing a singleton.

Good idea. Thanks. I will see what I can do.

Dear Fred
Looking into feature of autoplay of singletons, please enable autoplay of dummy's singleton when playing declarer.

Allowing autoplay of dummy's singletons is a good idea, but will the implementation also include autoplay of dummy's singleton at trick 1? I dislike it whenever declarer hurriedly plays a singleton from dummy at trick 1, be it automatic or not. It doesn't give third hand enough time to think about the hand, leading to problems of unauthorized information whenever third hand breaks tempo.
I realize that such matters are not a great concern to most people, especially given the relaxed nature of online bridge and the vagaries of "tempo" in an online setting. Still, if there is ever a formal mode for play on BBO, I would like to see an automated 5-or-10 second delay between the time the dummy hits and the time the declarer plays a card from dummy. Since there is no formal mode right now, I do not think it is a high priority, but I want to make certain the ramifications of dummy autoplay are fully considered before it is implemented.

Good idea, Eugene. I will turn off autoplay singletons from dummy at trick one. Your thoughts on the "formal mode" make sense too, but I am going to give this a pass for now. I will file a copy of your post in my "things to eventually do" folder.
