On THIS auction, East leads the spade king from KJ dub! I'd say "unbelievable", but NOTHING - no matter HOW stupid it is - is unbelievable when it comes to these GIBBO numbskulls.
Then when East wins his diamond king at trick three, he decides to give away the whole heart suit. Just a TYPICAL "defence" from these fleabrained chowderheads.

It was irrelevant on this hand, since after the spade lead, and with the favourable layout, I was always going to be able to take three diamond tricks and 11 total tricks anyway, but WHY would West win trick two with his diamond QUEEN rather than his diamond NINE?

I think BBO is a fine bridge site that brings a good deal of information, entertainment, and pleasure to numerous people.
I enjoy playing the robot games and do so just about every day.
In short, I like BBO and I like the robot games.
I would like the robot games INFINITELY more if BBO supplied COMPETENT robots rather than the absolutely worthless GIBBO ones that plague this site.
If I liked the robot games even more - because they had BETTER robots than the current GIBBO trash - I would also like BBO even more.
I suspect that many BBO members and customers share the opinions that I have expressed here.

Due to the fact that I know all GIBBO robots play atrociously virtually all the time, I play much differently in robot games than I would in human games. I operate FAR more in robot games and I also tend to bid FAR more conservatively in robot games, because I know that although the GIBBO robots stink at anything and everything bridge-related, one of their countless bad habits is that they tend to overbid ridiculously.
Here's an example of what I wrote above.
Playing with a human, I would bid 3H (NOT 2H!) over North's 1H bid, because my South hand is worth 16 "total" points in support of hearts. GIB and GIBBO, of course, have proven countless times (particularly in their pathetic GIB definitions) that they have no IDEA about anything related to "total" points.
On this board, because I was "partnering" a disgusting GIBBO robot (nothing personal against this particular GIBBO robot, but they're ALL disgusting), I raised to ONLY two hearts.
Sure enough, Goober McStooge in the North made a game try with his pile of (in context) trash: a flattish 3-4-4-2, mere, aceless 10-count with only four hearts (and four LOUSY hearts). I, of course, accepted, having previously UNDERBID with 2H.
The point is that playing with these utterly hopeless denizens of the fish pond, you might as well be conservative because the foolish clowns will bid on with anything remotely resembling a LEGITIMATE game try, as this hand shows.

The GIBBO "defenders" "defended" their way to another zero for their world-famous collection.

East makes his usual foolish and cowardly play of splitting his club honours (at trick three) when it's STUPID to do so. This is one of the numerous boneheaded "defensive" habits that these craven fleabrains have.

Not exactly the greatest "defence" of all time. Gee, what a SHOCK.

Pathetic GIBBO 2C structure on display, complete with typically bad GIB definitions. The system and definitions should be tossed in the same trash compacter as the robots.
South's 2NT promises "22+ HCP". Instead of this open-ended piece of garbage, why not put an upper limit, so that the partner of the 2C opener has at least SOME idea of his range? The same crummy definition also says that South is showing "23+ total points", so that TOO is open-ended, and totally useless because of it. Of course, ANY time a GIB definition refers to "total" points, it's useless anyway, since GIB has shown on numerous occasions that it lacks even a BASIC understanding of "total" points.
Not clear why North raises 3NT to 4NT, since he has NOTHING more than what his earlier 2S bid ALREADY showed. Additionally, he's disregarding his own GIB definition (what else is new?), since it promises "9-10 HCP" and he has only 8. Oh yeah, ALWAYS a good idea to lie...to your PARTNER. At least that's what GIBBO seems to think. Please toss GIBBO into a garbage can. Then cover the garbage can. Then bury the garbage can 10 miles below the Earth's surface.

Another stupid and cowardly split by a foolish, craven GIBBO robot. This time it's the simpleton in the East splitting his heart honours at trick 8. No surprise. They'll keep doing it...because they are hopeless - absolutely hopeless and always hopeless.

Why a DIAMOND (trump) shift at trick two? How is THAT ever going to help the "defence?" Do these hopeless bozos ever even have a reason for what they do?

Not that it mattered, but WHY is West leading the spade ace rather than the diamond ace?

North stupidly pulls 3NT to 4H.
WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
The ignorant fool ALREADY showed at least 6 hearts with his earlier 3H bid. His partner South HEARD that 3H bid and bid three no trump, after earlier bidding two no trump.
The ignorant fool knows his partner has 18 or 19 HCP and has the enemy suit (spades) WELL stopped, since he (South) bid no trump TWICE...AFTER hearing East overcall 1S.
North (the ignorant fool - in case you forgot what EVERYONE calls him) has TEN (!!!) HCP himself, so he KNOWS that his partnership has a combined total of 28 or 29, AND he himself has honours in EVERY suit. What the Hell is the brain-addled quivering coward afraid of?
If anything, NT will be SAFER than hearts, because the enemy could conceivably score defensive ruffs in hearts, but not in NT.
And...NT is a higher-scoring strain than hearts.
GIBBO robots are the absolute WORST. They should be disposed of as soon as possible and replaced by DECENT robots.

North proves for the Nth time that these GIBBO trashcans have no idea how to bid two-suiters.
West proves for the Nth time that these GIBBO trashcans are absolutely wretched on opening lead - worse than any bridge player I have ever encountered, EXCEPT for their GIB predecessors, who were even worse!

Had South doubled 2NT in the passout seat (rather than passing), the COMPLETE GIB definition of the double would have been "16- total points".
Further evidence of what a useless, antiquated system GIBBO plays AND of how utterly pathetic and worthless the GIB definitions are.

Same hand as in post #1554 immediately above, but at a different table and a different final contract. Here we see how remarkably ignorant the disgusting GIBBO nitwits are about even the most basic precepts of bidding.
The clueless jackass in the East passes West's 2H instead of correcting to 2S. Of course, the scintillatingly stupid definition of 2H does not help.
How has this GIB/GIBBO garbage been able to survive for so long when it should have been discarded years ago?

This is a "Hearts-style Challenge", where on every hand I bid 7NT at my first opportunity and redouble whenever I am doubled. Unbeknownst to the robots, I then try to take as FEW tricks as possible, while they play their "normal" (which means completely WRETCHED) game of "bridge" and attempt to take as MANY tricks as possible.
Watch these hopeless losers completely butcher the "defence" here. Pay particular attention to how the braindead *****s mangle the red suits.
These clowns continue to be warts on the face of bridge. In fairness, it must be stated that to the best of my knowledge, these are not the so-called "advanced" robots...but big deal. To call ANY GIBBO robot "advanced" is ridiculous, because if it's GIBBO, it rots.
