That other thread asking if GIB has a sense of humor reminded me of this funny hand I had for a long time but never posted. Just watch the first trick. It's really funny. And it probably should count as a bug, too, since it was very bad defense.

Though in this case the defence makes no difference so it can't count as very bad- it is normal bad defence that GIB does all the time- declarer's loser is only ever a spade. Let along the bidding which is a bug itself- it could splinter diamonds. A common part of GIB is that it has no accounting for strong sequences to allow to put in a cue.

I had AKJ10x KQxxx J10x and partner GIB opened 1H, RHO doubles! I went through a strong sequence in support of hearts and GIB just bid 4 with three aces and void of spades.

The lead of the K promises the Q, so GIB E tried to hide the fact the hand will need to be redealt.

True, I could have won 12 tricks even if didn't lead K, but I still think K was a bad lead when I bid clubs and could have had something like AQJ of clubs and needed the extra club tricks to drop diamonds since I didn't necessarily have the top diamonds.
