There is definitely theoretical advantage to 3/low against suits when you are defending with a human. The way Lia leads is expert standard although she doesn’t benefit from it because she doesn’t read the carding yet.
Hi Gavin, thank you for all the amazing content you make! Could you tell us approximately how many boards it takes you to reach Ace on intobridge? I would love to have a kind of guidepost like that to guage my progress! Thanks
@@wolpertbridge me and Peter Hollands we're clearly both playing catch up after opening light and getting crucified for it... and you know what happens when you play catch up... you just sink further into the mire.
It will be very interesting when bridge robots learn to play deceptively. A human opponent on Board 4 will lead away from the spade king sometimes to give you a problem. Once robots think about what their opponents are thinking about rather that just simulate and play double dummy, robot bridge will be one step closer to real bridge.
Yes. This one is such a hard one to program. Even as a human it would be incredibly difficult to lead a low spade the second time through knowing the opps have the rest of the tricks. I would not play them to do it. I’d shake their hand if they do. I agree that it will be cool when we get to that stage of robots.
That 2D board was incredibly cool.
Gavin's a magician.
Board 3 is why we wait to see your cardplay expertise.
Thanks Gavin great stuff
Love your analyses as ever! I hadn't realised Lia led 3rd and low vs suits, 4th best vs NT. Is there a theoretical advantage to that?

Thanks for the nice comment. It took me 324 boards this season to make ace.
@@wolpertbridge Wow that's absolutely amazing! That must be the record.
Board 3 is simply remarkable. Thank you so much for posting this.
Board 5 - we all gambled and let the Queen hearts run and found out that lho had dumped all their hearts!
Yeah it felt like I got a favorable defense on board 5. At first I thought I misplayed it but it turned out I couldn’t do better.

I’ve had such bad experience opening light with Lia. She is aggressive and also defends nearly perfectly.
