ANOTHER one that worked out okay...but I really don't think that North's FOUR CLUB call (a typically beloved...and typically stupid GIBBO jump to four of a MINOR) is wise. Note, BTW, the ever-annoying ("Jump in competition" -thanks SO much for telling us that, GIB, because we NEVER would have figured it out otherwise) and ever-pathetic GIB definition of 4C. Note also that North LIED and also ignored his own GIB definition, because he MOST definitely does NOT have "5+ clubs". He has ONLY four lousy ones!

"Interesting" four SPADE bid by North. Note that the GIB definition claims it shows "2+ spades". Well, I suppose he has them...IF you consider the STIFF (!) SIX (!) to be TWO...PLUS!!!
His own GIB definition also claims that his 4S call shows "14-18 total points". Well, okay...but that would be in support of DIAMONDS, not SPADES! In support of SPADES, his hand is worth 12 HCP...AND also only 12 "total" points...but I'll forgive GIB for that, because I've LONG been aware that GIB knows NOTHING about "total" points, so any reference GIB ever makes to "total" points should always just be ignored!

East wins his diamond 7 at trick three. Does he then play a spade, the suit his "partner" led? Of COURSE he doesn't. HE'S a GIBBO robot, so HE plays a CLUB, the suit DECLARER led.
Not only are these GIBBO trashcans among the absolutely worst "bridge players" of all time, but they are also CERTAINLY among the worst "partners" of all time. Please get rid of them and replace them with DECENT robots. That single move would INSTANTLY make BBO a much better site, by correcting its major flaw.

The horrific yet laughable GIBBO bidding system is antiquated, illogical, redundant, and all-around pathetic. I apologize for not mentioning that often enough.
