Carl Michelet gets the award for sharpest eyes. He has located 3 boards (so far!) where Deep Finesse failed to recognize a cold contract. For the latest one, check out board 18 in the open game on 1-18. 3NT by N is cold with any lead, but, DF didn't recognize that ANY NT contract could be made!

[Later development:] I corresponded with the authors of both Deep Finesse and Dealmaster Pro (which creates the hands we play and used DF to analyze). It turns out that DM Pro was assuming that you needed at least 18 HCP to make game in NT, but, the 3 cases that Carl notices were exceptions to that rule. The author has since reset the points checked down to 13!
