Perhaps you hesitated too long, and Ben was trying to choose between logical alternatives..

Best explanation ever :)
He who hesitates is lost.
Converting an otherwise adequate video game that simulates bridge into something similar to a wheel of fortune.

I have made a video of Ben & Friends 02/03. The video has been improved! The MP-scores are now shown in the play view, instead of showing the score sheet after each board and also the current scores are shown. I plan a third improvements, to show the bidding bid by bid and also show the explanations of alerted bids. It will be implemented in the next version. I missed to record the result list for this video. Link: https://youtu.be/YCGSCvfzs6I

A new video Ben and Friends from 05/03, with an improved function; the bidding is now shown bid by bid and the alert information shown. https://youtu.be/W1DsxjGAGD8

I can't think of much to say about this hand other than 'rofl'.



I guess it's more common to play xx as showing a bust, but that wouldn't make the leap to 6♥ more understandable.. or the 2♣ opener in the first place..

At least the robot wasn't peeking (6♠ looks a decent gamble).

Probably shouldn't complain, but (at trick 6), what happened to 'cover an honour with an honour'?

I make a Michaels Cue, and partner has 3-card support but denies even doubleton support.

I had something similar the other day with Michaels, but can't find the hand.

Not as bad as today though, where I made a Soloway jump shift, and Ben promptly passed, for a partscore making 7. I guess that's what you get when you train it on humans..

From "BEN & Friends" 2024-04-20

https://webutil.brid...273591-R1-B6-I1

Interesting that 26 times North opened a 4th hand 2♦, and one time the Robot in West did not balance with 3♥

Perhaps the missing overcall was the reason for playing a ♥ at trick 7.

Training BEN to bid like GIB is not always the best.

Pass to a cuebid is never good. And yes it was wrong to Cuebid.
