When playing with three robots, how about an option for the human to be declarer for all contracts declared by N as well as contracts by S? There's not a lot of fun (or really anything to be learned) watching a robot play (or sometimes massacre) your contract. This option would certainly reduce the luck involved in playing with 3 robots. Most bridge programs I know of rotate hands to allow this, but that wouldn't be necessary.

Welcome to the forums. At the risk of coming off a bit short, this is probably the most proposed change on these forums. I don't fully understand the programming details as to why this change is hard, but apparently it is.

Ah - wasn't aware of that, being new here, and not seeing it discussed anywhere obvious in these forums. Maybe it should be in the FAQ or pinned to the top to avoid further grief from Newbies like me. (But I remain unconvinced that is that hard a change given the obvious expertise displayed in the system interface here).
