The number of incorrect bids by bots seem to be increasing. I have noticed quite a few bids the recent months where the bots overbid their hands.

Here is an example. The bot claimed to have 11 HCP when it only had 9 HCP. If it actually had 11 HCP, say with the ♥K rather than the ♥J, or even 10 HCP with the ♣J, the 6NT contract would make. But it had only 9 HCP, handing me a bottom score.

I have noticed quite a few similar bids.

9 hcp plus 2 point for the 2 doubletons =11. GIB and Gibbo consistantly counts distribution points even in NT.
They would also count shortness in spades when playing in spades.

Just one of the many reasons that the GIBBO robots are so astoundingly incompetent at bridge.

It doesn't work that way. When GIBs count distribution points, they say "Total Points". When they count only High Card Points, they say "HCP". Here it clearly said "11 HCP" in the bid explanation while there were only 9 HCP.
