But…

Good game, but the partner hand is weak. My partner bid nil and was successful down to the last two cards. I played a low heart and he played a spade and went set. He then played a low diamond. In other words the algorithm is faulty.

Response from developer

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Spades. Thank you for the play issue report. We will work on it. Note that the play depends on the level. If you are playing on Level 3, the play is rule based, you should not see that play. On other levels, the AI uses an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation. Levels 4+ play better than level 3. This simulation can lead to surprising plays, but the bad plays will be fewer on level 6. And some bad plays, we have found do not make a difference. For example, if the nil bidder has a high eight of spades, the AI may play it at the 3rd to last trick to trump a trick even though it could have played a lower card. This may make sense to let partner know that the Nil bid is not going to succeed. Thank you for your review.

Makes illogical moves

Makes illogical moves. Will take a trick with a spade after bidding a NIl when holding a none spade card. Will take a trick when I bid a NIl when player player to my left has already beat my card. This leaves me vurnable with a higher card.

Response from developer

The AI bot player certainly should not take a tricks with a spade unnecessarily when bidding nil. Please see Settings -> Level to make sure you are playing on level 3 or higher. Play on level 3 has human designed rules and should play as a good human does. Play on Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation method. We have seen some creative play, like perhaps taking a trick with a high spade when the nil is not makable when both teams have bid nil. This could make sense to tell partner that the nil is not makable and it is best to try to defeat the opponent's nil. Thank you for your review.
