If 1♠ showed 4+S, how does 2♠ show only 3S?

bbradley62,

Nice one.

Could explain the frequent inability of GIB to recognise 6-5 distributions when, for example, opening 1 diamond and later twice bidding spades. My experience is consistent with the following concept 'held' by GIB: if you do not open a of major you cannot possibly have 5 of them.

Your example goes one better in the sense that you cannot even have 4!

I think it may be about time for BBO to get the original author(s) of GIB to sign a maintenance contract so some sensible bidding principles can be added.

Thanks for reporting, it will be fixed.
