GIB needs to learn to stop accepting its own game tries. I don't mind it making a slam try via a game try.

MP, robot tourney, best hand South, lead HQ, result -1 (losing first 4 tricks in reds)


OK not really that bad a game to be in. HA could have been onside. But if we should be in game, perhaps N should bid it direct over 2S, because as South I sure has heck don't have a hand worth accepting a game try.

Maybe North rated the hand worth a mild slam try?? It is true that I have occasionally gone down in game on a slam try hand.And I can at a stretch, construct a hand where slam is a good spot consistent with the 2S rebid.Say
