Seriously, why do I bring the worst in the bot? Whenever it has some number of clubs, and sees me accross the table, it has to go for the grand.

It doesn't matter to it that my hand is limited, nor does it matter what its own strength is.

On the second hand, your 3H bid does not show Hearts but rather 4+ Club support and doubleton Spade. Not saying that the subsequent bids are reasonable in light of that, but it may explain one or two things.

Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. m Posted Image

On the first one, you didn't show anything extra after 2N and denied a fit. Gib blew a gasket on this one if it thinks it can make 6♣ opposite a 2N rebid nevermind 7♣

Sarcasm is a state of mind

When you semi-psych a 2NT rebid on the 1st hand, bad things can happen. You may never get to show a solid 6 card major, and then when GIB shows that clubs has to be trump, you compound the problem by bidding 6NT. Playing with a decent human player, this should end the auction, but once GIB decides what suit should be trump, you will never win the bidding war short of the 7 level. I don't remember if there was a fix for GIB running from 3NT, but if there was, it probably didn't make it to running from 6NT

On the first hand, the huge strength range (9-18 total points) of 6♣ is absurd. Shouldn't some of that be eliminated due to North's failure to bid 3♣ over 2♣? I presume that description should also include 4H, since North bid Stayman then denied spades.

Maybe GIB doesn't like rubbing salt in the wounds, but how did these contracts not get doubled?

Well, I understand that my style is somewhat controversial, and surely not everyone would agree with my bids.

But this wasn't about the actual hands that I had, more for the hands that I advertised to have.

Both of my hands stated that I had no void or singleton, and defined my strength very tightly.

Of all the bids that the bot could here, it heard the least exciting ones, yet it got excited beyond any reason.
