THE ALGORITHM GOT IT ABOUT RIGHT.

After those unrelentingly gloomy Saturday posts, perhaps a more cheerful Saturday bridge column is in order.  Of-times, the algorithms get high on their own supply, and what happens next is not amusing.  Not in this example, where the declaring bot's shortness worked out just right.  East deals.

Human player is always sitting South in these simulations.  I hesitate to bid One No Trump on a 5-3-3-2 distribution, although that Club Ace and a sequence in Spades offers protection.  West's Two Spades has nothing to do with Spades and North bot's Three Spades means hearts and a minor.  Three No Trump works with balance, and North bot declares with Six Diamonds.  East leads the ♠ Five.  Think about the resources from North's perspective: void in Spades, with but three Diamonds including the Ace held by the opposition, one Spade ruff is manageable.  Three top tricks in Hearts, but the Jack, Ten, and Nine are out against them.  The Club Queen isn't useful as an extra winner on the board.  West, though, helps the cause by covering South's honor with the Ace and then discovers the bad news at the cost of the Diamond Three.  Produce another void in hand by leading the ♣ Six to the ♣ Ace.  From the board, lead the ♦ Two which drops the ♦ Nine and the ♦ Jack drops the Ace.  One trump outstanding, and East helps the cause leading the ♣ Seven: Queen, King, ruff low. Lead ♦ Five, East gets rid of a Spade, Queen, Ten, and all the trumps are drawn.

From here, it's mostly mopping up. ♠ King to a ruff (could have discarded a heart); ♥ Two to the Queen, ♥ Six and a West Club discard to the Ace, then the ♥ King drops East's Jack, which might not have been best, and West discards another Club.  Here's where trumps on the board come in handy.

I opted to lead the ♥ Three to a ruff on the board, then the ♠ Two to a low ruff in hand (could have cashed the ♠ Queen with a Heart discard and then ruff the ♠ Two) then play the ♦ King and finish with the last Heart in play.
