"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Indeed Why can't GIB rebid 1NT as 18/19?
This is more rubbish Ginsberg bidding logic which BBO will never fix.

Well, one reason may be that he has 22 points... surely 2NT (or 3NT) is correct

When I saw this thread title I was hoping it was another one of GIB's dodgy leads, so we could have something like

Oops GIB did it again
Didn't lead a heart
Let them make their game
Oh baby baby...

You like bridge songs? A friend and I wrote a couple one Youth Week a few years ago. Turned "Every breath you take" into a song about kibiters watching all the mistakes you make and sniggering behind their backs, turned "Can't buy me love" by the beatles into "Can't do a squeeze", where it lists all the mistakes you make that could cause a squeeze hand to go down; and there were some others but I've forgotten them.

Yes I miscounted and on close analysis of the hand with a club lead and assumption that North holds all the high card points then 3NT is quite easy.

Thanks for reporting it.

The issue is fixed for the next update.
GIB will give the corresponding bid with that hand 2NT - 2-5 ; 2-5 ; 2-4 ; 2-4 ; 21-23 HCP; stop in

That's leads in the particular hand to 3NT by West after.

Rebid of 1NT is 19-20HCP based on the fact 1NT direct overcall is 15-18HCP.
