Do you know why Gib S bid up to 7♥ directly ?
In fact,it depands mainly on its evaluating system.
Gib N opening strong 2♣,it promises 23+TPs,Gib S has 16TPs,so Gib S bid 7♥ - very bad,very inaccurate.
This shows TPs as a evaluating system have its own defect.

Gib since one of it's "upgrades" many moons ago likes to jump to slam arbitrarily without checking for aces or investigating fit. This is especially ridiculous in situations where partner is clearly captain of the auction (which Gib does not acknowledge) like here when they have opened 2♣.

With KQ♣ opposite a ♣ rebid by opener should be taking it slow and showing delayed ♣ support after rebidding ♥. 7♣ makes on non trump lead so should be settling for 6♣ or 6N. But the point is 7♣ or 7N might be cold while even 6♥ has no play (on 4-1 break) As 2♣ openers have been known to have a ♥ void! which is being counted towards total points.You shouldn't just be counting TP and bidding slam, fit and distribution is more important.

Yes,excellent comment.
I agree,but Gib can't.

We found a bug in one of the macros GIB uses to compute losers ( key cards in trump contracts ).

It's in progress of fix, and would be supposedly part of next version. That will improve the fluctuations in slams, including evaluation of blackwood "news".
