Wow - first time since they started doing this I scored 0 - well done Pete - you broke Lia!! 😀B1 I opened a diamond and they never competed over my 2S which I made. B2 I cashed my 8 tricks and then tried the diamond finesse for a 9th trick just in case the hearts were 5-3 or worse and the diamond finesse was wrong and I ended up with less than 8 tricks. I'm surprised the diamond finesse did work as I've learned from experience the robots don't usually lead a long suit unless they have an outside entry. But they did this time!!. B3 I didn't even think about pre-empting with a 5 card suit and a 6 count!! They bid and made 4H. B4. I missed the play for the J doubleton spade and tried to sneak a diamond through - they cashed the 2 aces. B5 I thought well this is going badly lets try to get a win on the last board with a 6N punt. It went off one on a spade lead. Oh well there's always another game tomorrow!!
Good news: I'm tied for 32nd right now. Bad news: With 20. Monster set, beautifully done, well earned.
Would never have thought of making those bids that got you the win... 1C on B1, and 2D on B3...
#1 3c*-2 was a monster result. As close to 100% of the MPs as you can get.

Nice commentary and analyses again.
