GIB chose the deceptive lead of 9C at trick 4 - certainly deceived its partner: me!

Please do not say it might be simulations that suggested a non-standard lead. To be a reasonable player you must honestly communicate with partner except for rare circumstances and then be prepared to apologise to partner.

Of course an apology from GIB doesn't get you very far even in a rare circumstance! So please teach GIB how to employ some kind of normal sytle of leads.

Fred may think that GIB defends well - but this cannot be possible until it is taught to use lead tables in most cases.

If its any consolation - I never saw Fred saying GIB defends well, just as well as an average player :P

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

As I've said a number of times, GIB only uses lead tables for the opening lead. This isn't likely to change any time soon. It's not that we consider it unimportant, just that we have no idea how to fix it without breaking other things.

Has he really even said that?

We have done some studies that make it clear that, despite its weaknesses, overall GIB is much more effective at bridge than the average ACBL Robot Duplicate player.
