From the WBC-1000

Some errors are really strange, and this deal had a few, but also some interesting aspects.

You get:


What now? 4 is a preemptive raise with 4+.

Human no 1. bid 5, and was doubled by west.

After the lead T you get this dummy


It seems you will have to find KQ in either minor in East. You have only 2 entries in dummy, but playing first creates extra entries, but declarer played a from hand and went down.

In the replay the human had higher ambitions and jumped to 6, also doubled, but this time West lead a trump, and focus was on the East bot, that had to find a discard a trick 1 from



Discarding a looks easy for us, but the Bot discard T, and here declarer found the only way to make 6.

I would not have bid 6H. Secondly even if you pick up the C you still have a C and a D to lose.

The decision between T vs spade isn't even *close* in the old version of GIB; it throws a spade every day of the week. Got no explanation for how BBO have messed this one up since then at all.
