Nowhere in the GIB convention card descriptions are Negative Free Bids listed. Therefore, one should safely be able to assume that after an opening bid by partner and an overcall, a new suit is forcing by an unpassed hand. But that's not the case, as my GIB partner opened 1C today, I got a 1H overcall and I bid 2D, passed out. I had a full opening bid and missed an easy game, the only compensation being that most of the field had the same result. What about this, GIB developers?

It is a recurring theme that GIB doesn't regard partner's unlimited bid as forcing. Hopefully, fixing this is high on the developers' list.

Yes, let's hope so. Funny, I don't believe I have ever seen it pass a 1 level response in competition, no matter what piece of junk it opened.
