MP, best hand South, instant, pro GIB v 30

Focus on the 2S bid, not the 1N :)

Incidentally, within the confines of a normal 1N opener, I don't think that South backing in with 2D on anything less than a 5 card suit is sensible (if then). So the description should show 5 D, not 4-5 D. Armed with that, perhaps North will not feel under pressure to manufacture a free bid of a 3 card suit on 3 HCP and 3-3-3-4 shape. If bidding at all he could venture 3D (not that I am asking that it be programmed to do that).

It's interesting that while Georgi sometimes responds to our issues, he never addresses these hands where GIB bids 3 card suits for no known reason. This time it's only at the 2 level, often it is higher. I wonder why? To me this should be one of the top priorities for fixing.
