Fortunately, all ended well, as we made 3D for a shared top of (a mere) 65.79 % on the board (yes, it was "shared" by MANY players)...but that was QUITE a 3D call...RED AGAINST WHITE (!!!)...by the GIBBO robot in the North with his flattish 4-3-4-2 (!) TWO(!)-count (!), with both his points in jacks...in a GIBBO system where his partner South could easily have had only a THREE-card diamond suit.

One of the COUNTLESS weaknesses of these GIBBO losers is that they never give any thought whatsoever to the vulnerability.

Why is West doubling 5D? Why is the GIB definition of West's double so typically useless? Why does East PULL the double to 5H?

The only one of those three questions that I can answer is the final one: East pulls the double because he knows that his "partner" West, being a GIBBO robot, is a raving lunatic. Note that East's PULL of the double does NOT correspond to the hand he SHOULD have according to the GIB definition of 5H.

West leads a heart, won by dummy's ace, as declarer South pitches a club.

At trick two, declarer calls for dummy's club 6. "Defender" East, with J8 doubleton, plays the jack. WHY? This second hand HIGH stupidity was a hallmark of the GIB robots, who - as hard as this may be to believe - were even WORSE than the wretched GIBBO robots, thanks to some small improvements made by Lorserker a short while ago.

"Defender" West wins his club ace and of COURSE immediately plays another CLUB. WHY? Well, this question I can answer: He plays another CLUB because...these truly WITLESS and totally incompetent GIBBO fleabrains LOVE to return the suit DECLARER just played...undoubtedly because they ARE fleabrains. BTW, I sincerely apologize to any and all FLEAS that I might have insulted by that comparison!

Here's a simple, straightforward equation:

GIBBO robots = garbage.
