Dear Organizers,

Hi. I was trying to "play through again" (not just review how the original play went) some hands with the robots and found that I could not. It was only possible to only review the hands as played the first time but not possible to play through the deal once again. (I checked with BBO support and got an email confirming this.)

I wonder if it would be possible to introduce a "play through again" service as it would be most helpful for novices as myself to improve after checking how the original play compared with others shown on the traveller.

Alternatively, it would be helpful if we could program our own deals to repeatedly play them till we get them right.

Thanks for your time and attention.

I use a double dummy solver to replay the hand and look at various lines of play. This one is free and reads BBO files:

Have you tried this?
Let's say you have two accounts: login1 and login2
Log on to BBO with login1 (the one you purchased GIB robots).
Start a teaching table with login1. Login1 acts as a teacher and spectator.
Reserve a seat for login2. Reserve the other 3 seats for robots.
Go to www.bridgebase.com and log on with the account login2. login2 should be directed to the teaching table.
Login1 loads the saved deal, sends it to the table.
Login2 and robots can bid&play the hand (and login2 doesn't see the other hands).

If you're not worried about seeing full hand during play, you just need one account. You can load the saved deal to a teaching table and bid&play.

You should be able to undo or redeal any time you want.
