GIB, holding
♠ AT76
♥ 95
♦ QT9
♣ AJ98
passed in first seat (I approve) and then bid 3♦ over my takeout double of 2♥. This was alerted as 4+♦ and 10-12 points. It was a happy ending: LHO GIB balanced with 3♥ and now partner GIB bid 4♠ (making), alerted as 4+♦, 5+♠, 11- HCP and 12 total points.

Another.
GIB held ♠ T ♥ Q52 ♦ KJT43 ♣ K842
This time after 2♠-DBL, GIB bid 3♦ and then pulled 3N to 4♥.
To be fair to GIB, I was a passed hand so GIB may well have been confused by the DBL followed by 3N (a direct 2N would have been unusual, so the mouseover told me).

That looks like the kind of hand for where a Moysian should play well.
