Basic GIBs. N decides to eschew playing 5♦ with his ♥Qx opposite a shortness, "knowing" that hearts are bound not to break as E advertised length in something.
The play is also a thing of beauty. E leads the ♣3, which GIB ducks to the K, because why cash your nine winners, amirite?
W switches to the ♥7, N plays the Q and E wins the A and continues clubs.
Don't know if this is worse than regular basic GIB, it seemed pretty bad to me.

You probably confused GIB by not taking your 9 top tricks :P

Not sure if you were serious - GIB N declared the hand.

I think John meant that declarer (human or not) confused East-GIB by not taking 9 off the top, so East thought he shouldn't lead away from ♥J9xxxx around to declarer's ♥KTx at Trick 3.

Interesting. I'd assumed GIB can't confuse itself regardless of the seat.
