Against 1NT:

I lead a spot from AKxx and the robot(partner) played low with Q9x and declarer won the T!
Dummy had J8x and declarer Txx.
Thanks to smerriman for pointing this out and reply.




BTW can someone show me how to import hands from the free just declare events: they don't show that option?
Thanks to thorvald for teaching me how to insert hand diagram (reply below).

Right after playing the hand, when it's in your history, you can click on the menu icon above the deal and click export. But if you've moved on, you'll need to wait until the tournament finishes before finding it in the recent tournaments section in your history. (And should probably wait until then anyway.)

Really need to see the whole deal before commenting.

But note that if you had led from ATxx or KTxx, then playing the queen would cost a trick, and those together are twice as likely as AKxx, so the finesse looks right to me.

When you have finished the tournament, you can do the following

Click on History
Click on recent tournaments
Click on the tournament where the interesting board is
Click on the blue button Results
Click on Show Boards at the top

You will now get a list of the boards played in the tournament

Click on Movie
Copy the URL in the browser address line (Very long link)

Now in the Forum I normally just click on the icon for the Hand Editor (Black spade symbol)

Click on Create Bridge Diagram
Click on Insert diagram

That gets this line (I have added spaces to show the how it looks in the editor)
[ hv=pc=n&s=shdc&w=shdc&n=shdc&e=shdc]399|300[/hv ]

replace
pc=n&s=shdc&w=shdc&n=shdc&e=shdc
with

url=<here you paste the address you have copied from the browser>

so it looks like this
[ hv=url=<pasted link>]399|300[/hv ]

And use preview to check all is fine

You had dummy and declarer the wrong way around in your earlier post (the position of the Jack is unknown, rather than the Ten). But it looks like GIB still got it right for similar reasons to the ones outlined above.

Edit - oh, wait, it played the 4 instead of the 9.. I'll need to look at this further.

Edit 2 - so, 9 is the best play. But, assuming a fourth best lead, 4 is equivalent to the 9 in all cases except when you have AKJ6, and GIB assumes (probably correctly, though unnecessarily) that you wouldn't lead the 6 from that holding.
