Me too. Should work the same on the actual hand as what they really did in the other thread. But possibly worse, it's not easy to tell.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

The doubleton diamond and singleton in pard's suit make X by far most attractive option.

Double seems to have more flexibility, even 4-3S will do ok from partners side.

Yes, double. This is a nonforcing situation so double shows values without a bid.

Ah yes, we all forgot forum rule No 2 - When a hand is posted that has a clear action, doing the normal thing is sure to lose imps. Otherwise, why would it get posted?
