I made a takeout dbl after 4H trying to find either 4S or 5D. The robot described it as a takeout bid but still passed, despite holding only 2 insignificant hearts.

At high levels the robots often leave in takeout doubles, rather than risking the 5 level. It probably comes from simulations telling them that the preempter is likely to go down even though there's no trump stack.

The great thing about playing with robots is that when you get totally stitched up by them, as I was on Board 2, they might do the same thing to your adversary!

I think what happened is you waited until very close to when the challenge was about to expire to accept and play the boards. Since you didn't follow me as friend the software does not allow me to play boards until you accept challenge, as it does with friend challenges. So I don't really have any notification that you played the boards since you wait until near challenge expiration time, and doesn't leave me any time to play them myself. You play the boards, the challenge expires shortly after, from my point of view you didn't accept challenge and it just expired unnoticed, the software doesn't even message me that you played it. Feels to me like the software ought to be altered so that if one person accepts and plays near expiration time, that time for other person to play it should be extended say +24 hours after challenge accepted.

If it is close to challenge expiration time it is better to decline challenge and reissue, to give other player reasonable amount of time to notice that challenge has been accepted and play it. Or friend people in your group so they can play boards at challenge issue time then you have 3 days to complete. Unless you are unavailable and can't play challenges some particular time period.

I reissued a new challenge.
