I am starting a thread for hands where the defensive bots made strange self-destructive shifts when all seemed lost for declarer

I can't remember one off the top of my head but it happens quite regularly - just recenntly in fact

Will post hands as they come up - of course all contributions welcome

I apologise for the lack of examples. Maybe we are all overwhelmed by them

There seems to be a particular issue in NT where the defence avoids the 4 or 5 top tricks on offer

I had another wonderful example recently
6 top defensivs tricks went begging
Thought I was done for but GiB is so generous
Still looking for it amongst all the other hands
Admittedly from memory it thought I had a stop but it could have been led through
No sorry I remember now my stop was Qx. Enough:)
