Scoring: MP

Bidding Script: West opens 2♠, ew do not bid after that.

Hanoi comments: "West opens with a weak 2S and it’s up to N/S to decide the level and strain in which to play. Clearly, it is South who should receive the lead, but will s/he choose the Majors or NT? Will South keep his/her ground or be swept by North’s diamonds. 6NT(S), 10; 6H, 8; 6D, 6; 5NT(W), 3; 5NT/6NT(N), 1"


Follows the theme of board 15, but at a higher level, so should be "easier"? We will see...

Should have been an easy road to 6H slam, expect for a disagreement whether 3014 or 1430 was in effect.

We started 2S-Dbl.-P-4NT (natural), leading quickly to 6NT (first trying diamonds along the way). Hanoi5, hosting us, didn't like 4NT. Any opinions?

Wow seems like a huge overbid, I think it should be more like an 18 or 19 count. North can easily have a 1444 or 1(345) 11. I got there after

X 4♥
4♠ 4NT
5♣ 6NT

which is sort of a guess itself.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Too much imo. Like take this hand, if you just bid 3N you will still easily get to slam as partner will move.

We accidentally right-sided it after a lebensohl auction, with my intention as south to be to show a GF hand with 4 hearts and a spade stopper, but then partner bid 3♦ instead and I almost wet my pants.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

I would have bid 3NT at the table, but decided to bid a slow 2NT. Justin bid diamonds, hearts and then clubs and I had an easy 6NT bid. Conveniently we were not playing equal level conversion.

Roger might have outbid me here. He also bid 2NT, then 3S, then 4S, but over 5C he bid 5NT, pick a slam, planning to pull everything to 6NT in the hope that partner could bid a grand. This didn't work out as well when Arend chose 6H, but they would have stayed in 6NT anyway.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.
