I keep seeing GIB, on defense, playing second-hand high, for no discernable reason. It just cost us defeating a contract for the second time in the last few days. Just wondering what the reasoning is of the software???

Or third hand low, or just wasting spot cards for no reason. Also, as declarer, taking practice finesses (ie unnecessary finesse for an extra trick that isn't needed) or cashing outside stoppers which set up tricks for the opponents when there are potentially losing tricks in a key suit.

Basically, the software isn't good enough to play without making those kinds of mystifying errors. Nothing more, nothing less.
