Who led a singleton? GIB is not on lead.

You didn't look far enough. The aggrevious error is on trick 4, then a GIB is on lead.

Also pathetic bidding by North, it can make 4S, South just needs to lead up to the honours.

If you're going to be an resulter you should at least try to be accurate about it. 4♠ cannot make double dummy on any lead.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Maybe if I had led the K♣ instead?
Oh wait, nm.

The difference I can spot is that you led the ♦9 for the ruff whereas both of the other tables led the ♦6. Why that matters to GiB, I do not know.

Yeah that confirms what I thought, the systematic return is the 6, if you return the 9 gib deduces that you have started from aq9 so it doesn't need to ruff. Maybe it's a little weird to return the 9 instead of the q from aq9.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket

See link above, I wasn't the only table that returned the 9.

Like GIB follows signals.

So, NorthGIB deduces that EastGIB isn't smart enough to cover the 9 when he doesn't have the Q?
