Today I saw two strange things happened while I played "Play Bridge - 4 hands".

The first strange thing is that 3♠ says 3-card ♠,17hcp in fact when I bid 3♠ after 3♣,but I found its explanations have been changed into "Support 3rd S.No 4th C -- 2-3C,2-5!" before I wanna to post this hand,
It is first time for me to see such Gib explanations.And its explanations can be changeable !

The second strange thing is that the explanations of 4♣ and 6♠ say it have ♣A,but 4♥ can't show ♥A.
Actually Gib N can't have ♣A !

I don't like 3♠ denying four clubs. Since OP says the explanation of 3♠ says 17HCP, I presume we're in a fast-arrival situation, where (a)4S w/ 17HCP would have super-accepted and (b)3-4S w/ 15-16HCP would jump to 4♠ over 3♣. With three spades and 4 clubs and 17, are you really supposed to bid 4♣ over 3♣?

I think what you said is nothing to do with this problem.

My comment is that I don't like the "new" description that you mentioned in your original post.

yes,but I used to have no evidence to report because I can't reconfirm it or I can't believed it.
However this time,while Gib N cuebid 4♣ ,it was alerted as ♣A,I knew it was wrong,so I had to check all of bids explanations so as to report it.
As a result,I finally found Gib's explanations are changeful.

I think there were several other posts of this kind.

The explanation for this "pseudo-Ace" with king is that when GIB have approximate/ sufficient points for slam + fit could "pretend" it has an Ace only in cases when there is side void and to promote a king as an Ace.

So in such cases when you're holding this ace could be sure GIB has a void outside the trump ( and 100% not in the suit it bids ).

Somehow "last train" cuebid.

We removed trump raise like 5M in the past, so there is no other option GIB to continue. As long as it starts with Aces first.
