So I chucked 2 tricks. One on the opening lead and then later when I gambled on partner having the Diamond Q. If I get everything right I only concede the one overtrick.

Check Lebensohl subroutine. Gib seems to have forgotten how to sign-off.

I wish there were a way of implementing BBradley's excellent idea of sorting posts here based on the GIB issues they relate to. It has been repeated over and over for months now that GIB passes out far too many of partner's takeout doubles. It would be great to have a large group of hands all together, all demonstrating the same problem.
If playing in real-time tournaments, I suggest everyone use the Robot Report function to report bugs like this. These reports seem to get more regular attention than posts to this board. Unfortunately that function isn't available for instant tournaments. Probably not for other play formats either.

I don't think discussion forum software is really the best way to do this. Best would be some sort of web based bug database thing like is used on open-source software. But it's more or less up to BBO if they think the time to set up such a thing to collect user reports would be more useful and worth the setup time compared to how they are getting the reports now. Unless one of us wants to set up such a site and offer it to BBO.

is this just a guess or do you have something to support it?
Yes, after submitting a just a few Robot Reports, I got a message from JDonn thanking me and making suggestions. Also, in his long post a few weeks ago, he stated that these reports were reviewed regularly, daily if I remember correctly. We're lucky to get any response from BBO here once a month.
Also, I'm sorry I missed your earlier suggestion. It's an excellent idea regardless of who thought of it!
