Can anyone explain GIB's play to tricks 2 and 3?

If GIB ruffs the heart on trick 2 (instead of the mysterious club discard), then 12 or 13 tricks (depending on the club finesse) are there off the top. Instead GIB comes away with 10 tricks and down one.

Thanks.

(BTW, how do I post the diagram rather than a link? I tried posting the expanded url, but the line length seems too long for the forum to cope and so only parts of the full hand get posted)

Thanks.

Here's the diagram:

One movie I remember from many, many years back: "Short Circuit". Number 5, an experimental robot, managed to rewire itself and took on human characteristics.

His incredulous creater is quoted..."It doesn't think, it doesn't feel happy, it doesn't feel sad. It just runs programs." He was wrong in the movie.

GIB is not Number 5.

Was this a basic or advanced bot? If it's a basic bot, I'm not going to spend time trying to figure out what it was thinking -- they try to minimize their thinking.

Basic.
