Handviewer link

I took 3♥ as Smolen, which it should have been. Does GIB not know Smolen, or has the robot not been properly programmed so that it still uses the same structure over an intervening 2♦ over Stayman and a pass by me denying 4-card support?

A side question - is there an easy way to put the hand up without having to manually input every card? I should know this by now, but I sadly don't :unsure:

Go to
http://www.bridgebase.com/myhands
Find the hand in question
Copy the link
See the link icon on the right of the smiley face in forum post form.
Click it and paste the link in the upper box and fill in the description in the lower box and close.
Proably another way. How do you do it with a tiny url?- there is the Hand Editor {spade symbol} (which is annoying) to fill in total hands and bidding and play.

GIB knows uses Smolen in normal 1NT-2♣-2♦ or 2NT-3♣-3♦ auctions, and I think also if you have this sequence with a NT overcall.

But apparently it doesn't use it when there's interference over the 2♣ bid. To put it honestly, I'm not sure if I've discussed this sequence with any of my human partners, either.

I go to the url, and then copy the part of the URL after "handviewer.html?" into an hv tag in the post.
