Is there an existing spot for discussion Bridge Master deals? If not, this can serve as a start. I'd like to collect deals with errors or apparent errors. Whether they ever get fixed is a separate matter - at least we'll have a place where we can check to see whether others have spotted an issue and whether it's Bridge Master's error or our own.

For example, on deal 3 D-28 I am allowed to make the contract if I play a diamond to the Ace at trick two and another diamond at trick 3. East wins and gives his partner a ruff, but West later allows me to discard a club on a diamond instead of ruffing my winner. This line is not nearly as good as the recommended solution.

I discussed some BridgeMaster problems in "Interesting Bridge Hands" but I haven't examined them all.

IMO, the official solution to Level-2, Problem D28 isn't cooked.

I see them now! Mostly Level 5.

Where is 2 D-28 discussed? The official solution looks perfect to me,

I like being able to link directly to Bridge Master - I had no idea that was possible. That link, though, takes me to the deal selection page rather than to a specific deal.

My mistake.
Belatedly, I realize that AdamW is discussing level-3 D28 and makes a valid point:
Bridgemaster fails to punish all inferior lines, assiduously,
Although the official line is instructive and manifestly correct.
