Probably low priority, but it would be nice to have a way to cleanly ask for the K of hearts on this sequence without showing a 23+ moose. Can 6 be changed to ask for HK? 6 looking for a HK cue apparently doesn't really work either.
Luckily 6 was down also so I didn't lose much.

Well, apparently you need 20+ points to launch into Bwood earlier in the bidding, and maybe just based on sims the odds favoured no H loser simply on the strength of that. But otherwise I agree.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).

The Gib programmers would know such artificials for sure.
I guess Gib has no ability to handle with sorts of cuebids including all sorts of relay asking bids at present.I think the Gib programmers have encountered unprecedented difficulties.

Of course use of Blackwood should not be based on point count, but on the ability to take 12 or 13 tricks if the necessary controls are present. And as far as priority goes, I would like to see GIB be programmed to sensibly use the information gained when it bids 5NT, well before having it more able to give specific information when partner is the one asking.
