There have been several posts on this topic since the most recent program change (I refuse to say upgrade), and here is another very basic example. I reported this to BBO through Robot Reports, but I want everyone who uses this bulletin board to be aware of what we are up against.

No comment is probably necessary. What could be easier or more obvious than taking out this double to Clubs?

Yes, I realize that but for my unfortunate (poor if you wish) choice of opening leads, the contract would have been defeated. It still belongs in Clubs.

I played a hand recently where I got an above average score for -910 in 4♦x. All of the results were -910 except for a handful of -1110s.

OK, so best defense is down 2, one can argue about whether my 2nd bid should also be double, and who knows if reaching the slam is realistic, but leaving a takeout double with only Jxxx trumps and having a perfectly easy 2♥ with 4 trumps available? Why would it even consider leaving it in? Also it led a club so only down 1 was possible after that.
