MP, Instant, 34

I was disappointed in GIB to see it get this wrong. The DK at trick 1 must be a singleton. Not sure whether the Club switch at trick 2 is correct, but it certainly didn't cost this time, provided that West ruffs trick 3 to follow up with a Diamond ruff.

Switching is bizarre. There is no reason to expect east to have A♣ so that the switch won't cost.
Even so west should continue with 2♦ to suggest a ♣ continution. Oh Gib doesn't signal, I forgot :rolleyes:
