Going Alone: Condition 4 Not Occurring

[Brian Attwell]

I am wondering why condition 4 for going alone doesn't occur when I
expect it to. With ./our_euchre 159 (as well as several other seeds I've
identified):

The top card on the kitty is: 10S
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (9H,KH,QD,9C,KS) > Player 2 passes
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (JD,9D,JS,JC,QS) > Player 3 passes

Whereas I would expect:

The top card on the kitty is: 10S
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (9H,KH,QD,9C,KS) > Player 2 passes
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (JD,9D,JS,JC,QS) > Player 3 is going alone.

Since Player 3 has
-right bower (JS)
-at least three trump (JS, QS and JC, since JC is left bower)
-double suited: Diamonds (JD, 9D) and Spades (JS, JC is left bower, and QS)

And partially satisfied condition 3 for calling trump without going
alone, which is a pre-requisite for going alone:
-2-3 trump (as explained above)
-right bower
-no off-suit ace: but this is not required to go alone

I believe this satisfies the forth condition for going alone. Am I
misunderstanding/missing some prerequisite condition?

Thanks,
Brian Attwell

Your understanding of the specifications is correct. Player 3 should go
alone.

I just posted a new our_euchre executable that fixes other errors. The
new executable doesn't exhibit this problem.
