It would be REALLY nice if the description of the 4NT bid would include WHICH version of RKC the GIBS use. GIB just stopped in game instead of bidding the cold grand apparently because it misunderstood my response. Any way the alert (Blackwood) could be amended to show what FORM of blackwood? Please?

If you hover over a response (or any bid of yours) it should show you what it would mean to GIB before you bid it.

GIB only uses one version of RKC, which is described here: http://www.bridgebas...ystem_notes.php

As you can see in this diagram:

the description of the 4NT bid says "Blackwood (S)", so that is RKC for spades. If GIB recently failed to give a similar description, it would be REALLY nice if you could post the hand.

Edit: But yes, it would be better if the description given were "RKC(S)" instead of "Blackwood (S)".

GIB plays 0314, not 1430.

That was the question..it is sort of important to know if 1430 or 3014 if the bid is to be of any use at all.

I just checked the system notes, and they say 3014, so where is the confusion? And when playing, if you hover over the 5♣ and 5♦ responses, they say what they show.
