Not only did it show solid 6-card hearts and 2- diamonds when it had neither, but after it bid 3♥ it seemed I was locked into hearts being the trump suit. Even bidding diamonds at that point was a cuebid. It wouldn't let me stop the bidding before it made a 6♥ bid that was doomed to fail based on the heart distribution. Maybe there was some way I could have bid this differently, but it seemed like almost anything else I could bid would have shown something stronger and only encouraged it to go for 7♥. Best bid is 7NT.

Edit: I think this is basic GIB since it's the ones you can play with for free.

Why won't they just dump the Soloway Jump Bids- its too complicated to properly programme the number of sequences in- actually the normal 1D,-,1H could easily do the same if properly described.

It has been fixed about Soloway jumps not to bid 3 with just 5.

So here after 3♦ GIB would proceed with 4NT having fit in diamonds. Won't mislead with its hearts.

7NT is ok once North knows South is 2A+K♦ and it's something different then 3262. Otherwise 7♦ looks much more reasonable and calm.
