Just Declare is nice for practicing declarer strategies, counting, etc. I'd enjoy an analogous "Just Defend". A stream of hands when I'm on defence, and there is a way to defeat the contract. I suspect we'd need some changed "play" robot logic that was optimized for good defender communication: standard opening leads, signals, carding, returning partner's suit, etc.

One of the daily "Ben & Friends" tournaments is a defend-only, but as the name suggests it's just for a limited set of "friends of Ben" (our AI robot). Maybe one of these days we'll open it up to the general public.

We probably won't do a defend-only game with GIB because its defense is so frustrating.
