I posted this hand in the GIB subforum (as an example of Capelletti foul-up by robot), but I am repeating it here for an entirely different reason.
On lead at the conclusion of trick 11 I claimed the rest (my remaining cards being the AK of trumps) for two down.
GIB recorded it as a concession of all of the remaining tricks, for contract made.
Not a huge issue, still 92.86% of the matchpoints (would have been 100%, obv). and still 1st place in tourney (hee hee).
To be fair, the claim button did show "concede all". But my fingers were faster than my brain, and I had already clicked on it before it registered.
The point being, that I was aware that depending on context the button may show either "claim" or "concede" (HATE that, by the way). However I thought that when I am on lead, then it defaulted to "Claim"
