Twelve high card points and six spades, maybe that opening is cheeky, but with partner bot's response and my going to game, the opponent bots have no chance to get together in hearts. West opens the ♥3, which the partner bot wins with the Ace and returns the Jack. I'm not so sure: play the Jack, forcing the King, and now there are two potential Heart winners for the defense. Taking stock: no Spade losers, one Heart loser, three likely Diamond losers, and a Club loser, with no way to establish that Club length.
So it goes: win the return with the King, two rounds of trumps extract the defensive Spades, cash the ♦A and lead the ♣2, creating cross-ruffing opportunities. West wins with the King and returns the ♥Q: dump that ♣6 from the board and trump with the ♠4. I wonder if that's another weak point in the algorithm: a human player might have taken a crack at extracting trumps by leading Clubs.
From here, it's straightforward: Diamond from hand to Spade on the board; Club from board to Spade in hand; Diamond from hand; Club from board; cash the ♠K for ten tricks, now the ♦J falls in garbage time.
