Hi,

#1 replacing the 1H opening bid with 1D (no critique, ..., I rarely use the editor, i.e. I am not throwing stones)
#2 the X is usually a support X, i.e. it is showing 3 spades, given that 2H is not enough, it is NF
..., you could try 4C a splinter agreeing spades, the alternative is giving up on slam and bidding 4S
#3 I am not too fond on the 3D by the bot, I prefer 2S, but from 3rd bidding round onwards, the bot bids get
less and less well defined.

With kind regards
Marlowe

When I play instant tournaments with the advanced robot, I can mouse over the bids and see what the robot thinks I have.
I think your 3S bid is forcing. You clearly have 5 spades so if you wanted to invite you would have simply bid 3S last time.
However, it's clear that the robot did not think your bid is forcing. It's possible that you could have moused over your 3S bid and seen that the robot thought it showed less. (It's also possible that you couldn't - it may work differently where you were playing.)
