Playing solitaire:

(1♣)-1NT-(p)-2♣
(p)-2♦

The 2♦ bid is explained as "aggressive weak jump overcall, 6+ diamonds, 4-9 points" or something like that. The (robot) partner's subsequent 3NT suggests that it was interpreted correctly, though.

I think Solitaire is a bit broken at the moment. There have been a few other threads where GIB's description was as if it had forgotten several bids earlier in the auction - eg this one.

Yes there are many examples of this, it seems that in general only the last round of bidding is used for explaining bids.

It's more complex than I thought.
Uncontested
1m-1M
2n
is apparently "unusual".
