What do you make of this?
Where I come from, this asks partner to bid 6
with second round control in hearts.
Partner Bot passed. His shape is 1=1=6=5. A brilliant pass since 6
can be beaten.

LHB (left hand Bot) led the A and another heart.
A and a trump switch beats it. I win on the board, throw a heart on the
A and finesse the
, losing to the K. Off 1 in 6. Except LHB does not have a trump! Ah, but it can be beaten. Underlead the
A at T1, RHB wins and plays a trump.
Not likely! Still, 5
making 6 was an above average result. I figured for zip after I saw that only the most inspired defense beats 6
.
I have a sneaking suspicion that partner Bot did not understand my 5
bid, he simply looked at the 10 highs he opened on, figured that they had not gotten any better during the auction, and got out at the first opportunity. But maybe he is just brilliant. We will go with that!
