The EW robots have a pathetic auction to miss a laydown slam. No surprise AT ALL.
Can't say I'm impressed by North either.
I don't intend to be cruel, however, by creating a false impression that these particular robots should be shunned. Heck, no! After all, they are NO worse than ALL GIBBO robots, ALL of whom are equally and totally inept.

I wanted to double 3H for penalty. I desperately wanted to double 3H for penalty. Oh, HOW I wanted to double 3H for penalty!
But I couldn't double 3H for penalty.
Why not? Because the GIBBO system is hopeless, antiquated, almost completely unworkable, and a complete piece of garbage that no intelligent bridge player in his right mind would ever want to play.
In the phenomenally illogical piece of trash that passes for a "system" in the Bizarro World of GIBBO, a double of 3H would have been...TAKEOUT. Consider how mind-blowingly stupid this is:
I have ALREADY described my hand to my partner North. He KNOWS from the GIB definitions of 1NT and 2S that I have a relatively flat 15-17 HCP with at least three spades, so I do NOT have to "urge" him to bid a suit, because if he thinks it's "right" to do so, he will do it even if I pass...because he KNOWS pretty much what I have!
Furthermore, IF he bids a suit, either over a pass by me OR over a (shudder, gripe, complain!) "takeout" double by me, what the HELL do you THINK he will bid? Even a blind chimpanzee could figure out that it would be...DUH...SPADES! First, he KNOWS that we have at LEAST an eight-card spade fit: He has shown at LEAST 5 and I have shown at LEAST 3! Why would he EVER suddenly go searching for ANY other suit? Also, he can bid SPADES at the THREE level, whereas he would have to bid clubs or diamonds at the FOUR level...AND spades score HIGHER than either clubs or diamonds!
Plus: Not only does North know MY hand, but I also know, at least to a certain extent, HIS hand. Thus, I too KNOW that we have at LEAST an eight-card fit in spades, so why the HELL would I ever want or need to make a TAKEOUT double? If I desperately want our side to declare, I can simply BID three spades!
I am sitting BEHIND the 3H bidder...yet in the stupefyingly IMBECILIC GIBBO system, it's impossible for me to penalize him when he makes a RIDICULOUS bid such as 3H (more on THAT later). Did whoever designed this sickening, useless, repulsive JOKE of a system have ANY idea of how to play bridge?
Sadly, I had to PASS, because if I had doubled, my partner would have taken it out - and, clueless though he may be, it would NOT have been his fault: he would simply have been obeying the definitions of his stinking, rotten system.
Meanwhile, look at how stupid East's 3H bid is. He has about the flattest hand possible (2-5-3-3) for his bidding. He has a mere 10-count...in FRONT of a 1NT opener known to have 15-17 BEHIND him. He is VULNERABLE. He is doing this at the THREE level opposite a partner who has been silent throughout the auction. But perhaps most importantly of all, he has ALREADY shown his heart "suit" via his earlier double of the 2H transfer. That double, according to the GIB definition, showed: "6-11 HCP; rebiddable hearts; KQ of hearts; 12- total points". He sure as HELL doesn't have any EXTRAS beyond that! He has "only" five hearts, and while they are not horrible, they are CERTAINLY not great (considering the double FOLLOWED by the 3H call!) with his empty, gap-ridden AJ954.
The more I play with and against GIBBO robots, the more I am disgusted by the absolutely WRETCHED GIBBO system, the annoying and pathetic GIB definitions, and the hopeless, useless GIBBO robots. I've often said this before, but it bears FREQUENT repeating: The system, the definitions, and the robots are all total garbage. They all belong in a landfill, not on a bridge site. BBO is a worthwhile site that provides a great deal of pleasure, entertainment, and education to a vast number of bridge players all over the world...but as good a site as BBO is, and for all its considerable merits, it would be INFINITELY better (and probably also considerably more financially successful) if it DUMPED the GIBBO trash and replaced it with GOOD robots, a GOOD system, and GOOD definitions, because the current ones rot!

As I have previously mentioned a few times, on most days I play some Challenges for a quick, lighthearted, completely unimportant change of pace purely for "fun".
These are free four-board "Challenges" generously offered by BBO. They cost nothing and they award nothing: no BBO money prizes, no points of any kind, nothing. They are four-board matches with only one human (in my case, me). The human is partnered by a GIBBO robot and his opponents are also GIBBO robots. The game does not affect any other humans in any way at all.
I play the "best hand" Challenges, but I play what I call "Hearts-Style Challenges", because unbeknownst to the three robots at my table, I am trying to LOSE as many tricks as possible. On every hand, at my first opportunity to make a call, I bid 7NT, and if I am doubled I redouble and then try to LOSE as many tricks as I can. A "perfect" result for me would be down 13.
But while I am trying to LOSE tricks, the robots are playing their "normal" (ha, HA!) game to the best (ha, HA, HA!!!) of their "ability" and trying to WIN as many tricks as possible. My partner North is dummy on every single hand, so he is the ONLY one of the three robots who rarely errs!
Here too, as in all the "normal" robot games, the GIBBO robots are horrendous. The ONLY excuse I will give them is that for the free Challenges, I believe they are not the so-called "advanced" robots and therefore are presumably not as "good" as the "advanced ones". If so, they must be REALLY wretched, because the so-called "advanced" ones are far, FAR worse than even the worst human player I have ever encountered.
So, that's the introduction. I included it so that anyone who has not read my previous posts will know the conditions. I rarely bother posting "Hearts-Style Challenge" hands, but I found this one particularly amusing, and it fits the theme of this essential thread that Diana so wisely created. It fits it by "bashing" (to use Diana's word) the GIBBO robots - as always, for the purpose of exposing how truly incompetent they are, in the hope of encouraging the powers that be to get rid of them and acquire DECENT robots.
Here's the hand. Look at trick seven and watch how NEITHER of these absolutely useless GIBBO robots could manage to win the diamond trick - even though they BOTH had high diamonds. These GIBBO robots might not rock and roll...but they DO reek and rot!

Broken record time: West wins his club queen at trick two. At trick three the ignorant jerk returns - what else - a club. Please throw these pieces of trash into the nearest garbage can.

Typically M.O.R.O.N.I.C. decision by the piece of GIBBO trash in the North. These worthless clowns don't take out doubles when they should, yet they DO take them out when they shouldn't. They, along with their foul GIB predecessors, are by FAR the worst (and most SICKENING) "bridge players" that I have ever encountered. They absolutely STINK of ineptitude and are an oozing open sore on the face of bridge.

The clueless GIBBO losers sitting EW stumble their way into 4S in a typically ridiculous auction where they're both stubbornly battling each other not only because of ignorance but also because of cowardice. Particularly laughable are East's 3D and 3NT calls.
North is also a GIBBO robot, which means that he also carries a quiver with no arrows and has the brains of a lobotomized caterpillar. At trick seven, when South leads the 13th heart and declarer West pitches the 4 of clubs, Superjerk in the North needlessly RUFFS his "partner's" WINNING heart to...lead a club...INTO declarer's AJ, at which point West laughs (because EVEN his FELLOW GIBBO robot sees what a truly imbecilic play North just made) and claims. Now, even if North had (CORRECTLY!) pitched on South's winning heart, West COULD always make his contract, because South had only diamonds and clubs left. If South led a diamond, West would pitch his losing club, since dummy had the high diamond. If South instead led a club (which of course he would have), declarer would have had to finesse by inserting his jack, which would have won.
BUT...declarer WOULD have had to make that play! Sure, it seems obvious, but EVERYONE makes errors now and then (including misclicks, etc.) and GIBBO robots make WAY more errors than any DECENT player (but, to be fair, they don't misclick).
Bottom line: It's ALWAYS right to MAKE declarer play (because SOMETIMES he'll go wrong) rather than basically SURRENDERING, which North did here and which the contemptible and clueless GIBBO robots OFTEN do.

We scored 87.10 % for going down "only" one in 3NT, but that is of course not the story. The story - as ALWAYS - is the absolute, BLINDING stupidity of the disgusting gobs of slime known as GIBBO robots.
Proof positive that they belong beneath a mountain of the smelliest garbage that can be found: North's indescribably stupid 3S bid - something that these despicable slimeballs LOVE to do. They are the worst, the absolute worst, the worst of all time.

I took a flyer with 3NT but it worked out fine. I had a GIBBO robot on lead as my LHO. The braindead reject had J92, AKQ10, J1085, 94 and chose to lead a...DIAMOND (the five!), the suit that his LHO (dummy North) had OPENED and subsequently REBID...TWICE. I actually could have played LOW from dummy and won trick one with my stiff diamond 6 (!!!), but of course I did not. I simply took the obvious eleven tricks. What ZOO did these *****ous GIBBO twits come from?

The GIBBO TROUT in the East wins his diamond ace at trick two. At trick three, he - of COURSE - plays anther DIAMOND. These pieces of trash will NEVER learn. They are a LOST CAUSE. Please get rid of them. They tarnish BBO by their very existence.

The ignorant GIBBO droke in the East makes a typically stupid lead: his stiff trump. By so doing, the worthless piece of trash makes it easy for me to trump coup his "partner". The two clowns end up adding another complete zero to their massive, unparalleled collection of failures. Why are these abhorrent jackasses even allowed at a bridge table?

The GIBBO jerk in the West leads a heart. Why? Because he's stupid, that's why.
But, to be fair, he's not AS stupid as his "partner" East, who is exceptionally ignorant even by the absolutely pitiful GIBBO "standards". This piece of garbage makes the same incomparably stupid play as another one of these disgusting clowns recently did. He COVERS the 10 of spades (trump) with his jack from KJ3. I explained in a previous post (#1227) why this is a ZERO PERCENT play, but that is obviously beyond the comprehension of the trash known as GIBBO robots.
The imbecile gets what he deserves when his "partner's" stiff queen and his own WASTED jack fall to dummy's ace on the same trick. By means of his braindead cover, the stupid cockroach managed to compress East-West's two "GUARANTEED" trump winners into only one. Why haven't these totally useless pieces of dirt been buried in a landfill, where they would no longer be able to desecrate the game of bridge? Each and every day that they're allowed to continue playing, they bring further humiliation to the game of bridge.

Why does the piece of undiluted garbage in the North bid an imbecilic 3NT instead of passing 3H (which anyone with a BRAIN would do)? For that matter, why did he even bid 2S...red against white...after his RHO had made a penalty double of 1NT? The answer to both questions, of course, is that North is the absolutely WORST kind of undiluted garbage: a GIBBO robot.

This hand shows what hopeless bidders the disgusting GIBBO robots are. Nothing special about that: They show how totally hopeless they are at bidding on most hands.
What's amusing about THIS hand is that it showcases how SPECTACULARLY illogical and IMBECILIC their wretched GIBBO bidding system is. Their system is so *****ic and self-destructive that their opponents would probably PAY them to play it - that is, if the robots were not so indescribably stupid that they CHOOSE to play their laughable joke of a system.
North has K108752, QJ653, VOID, 92. The East-West opponents are silent throughout, so NS have the auction all to themselves.
South deals and opens 1C, North bids 1S.South reverses with 2D. North now COMMITS a bid so ineffably I.D.I.O.T.I.C. that it could ONLY be made by a "bridge player" with less intelligence than an amoeba - in other words, a bid that could ONLY be made by a GIBBO robot, the lowest of the low, the worst of the worst.
He bids...with THIS hand...two...NO...TRUMP! But the REALLY sick, twisted, and perverse thing is that according to his unworkable JOKE of a "system" he is making the "right" bid, because his gruesome 2NT is pathetically explained by the typically wretched GIB definition as "Artificial 2NT, any weak hand (!!!), 4+ spades, 7- HCP, 6-8 total points". We EXPECT GIB definitions to be garbage. We KNOW that the GIBBO system is garbage. But THIS particular piece of tripe is not just "normal" GIB/GIBBO garbage: It's the kind that smells REALLY bad and that you have to scrape off your shoes with a knife - after which, to get rid of the lingering stench of GIB/GIBBO, you throw the knife away.
GIB and GIBBO rot.

South deals and opens 1C. West passes. North has 9876, 107654, J8, KJ. He is white against red. He...PASSES! This ignorant, clueless, M.O.R.O.N.I.C., I.D.I.O.T.I.C., C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S., stinking piece of GIBBO garbage...PASSES!
But, please, o ye apologists for GIBBO, please, PLEASE keep telling the world about how the GIBBO robots are "better than most human players". Please, I beg of you, because I...LOVE to laugh, and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is, to the best of my knowledge, not making any more episodes.
Anyway, after the piece of trash stupidly passes (confirming for the Nth time that these repulsive robots have no idea how to play bridge), East bids 1S. South passes. West bids 2C, defined as "3+ spades; 12-16 total points". North passes.
It's now East's turn to bid. He has KQ1042, QJ, 109543, 8. Depending on partnership agreements and style, the choice is probably between 2D and 2S (maybe even 3S or 4S for some adventurous souls), so what does East bid? He's a GIBBO robot, so HE bids two...HEARTS. In doing so, he is violating his own GIB definition of "3+ hearts; 5+ spades; Q+ in hearts; 10-12 total points; forcing to 3S". BTW, I'm not sure why SO many GIB definitions LOVE to recommend bidding suits that MIGHT be only three cards and I'm also not sure why GIB thinks it's USEFUL to "promise" as little as a queen in a side suit.
Anyway, East LIES by promising at LEAST three hearts.
South passes. West bids 3C. North passes, and it's now East's turn to bid again. He bids...THREE...HEARTS! You know, when SOME players bid like this, they're actually showing...wait for it, because you might find it SHOCKING...HEARTS! Yes, from what I've been told, some players actually HAVE the suit that they have bid TWICE. But apparently that advanced concept never made its way to the Bizarro World of GIBBO! Let's look at the GIB definition of 3H: "3+ hearts; 5+ spades; Q+ in hearts; 11 total points; forcing". Yes, it's the usual bilge that we expect from a GIB definition, but what's of interest is that GIB is apparently FINE with REbidding a "suit" that could be only THREE cards long. Stupid as that philosophy is, it's not AS stupid as East's once AGAIN violating his own GIB definition. Apparently he thinks that he MUST...REbid his heart "suit" of...QUEEN-JACK DOUBLETON. Note that this lunatic has BID and REBID his side DOUBLETON, but has NEVER bid his side FIVE(!)-bagger of diamonds.
I often call the GIB/GIBBO robots, GIB definitions, and GIBBO system "trash" or "garbage". Trust me: The boring and constant repetition of those terms occurs ONLY because I cannot think of STRONGER words to more accurately describe the total contempt that I have for them. Words have not been invented that are strong enough to portray how unfathomably reprehensible GIB and GIBBO are. They suck pumice. They rot. They are the lowest of the low and the worst of the worst. I realize that the repetition is annoying, but the statement needs to be made again and again until these hopeless robots are forever removed and replaced by decent ones. If and when that day comes, BBO users and customers will be much better off, as will, I strongly suspect, BBO. Until that happy day arrives, I guess anyone who continues to play with and against the robots will have to do so knowing that they are playing with and against probably the worst "bridge players" of all time.

But, please, o ye apologists for GIBBO, please, PLEASE keep telling the world about how the GIBBO robots are "better than most human players". Please, I beg of you, because I...LOVE to laugh, and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is, to the best of my knowledge, not making any more episodes.
Anyway, after the piece of trash stupidly passes (confirming for the Nth time that these repulsive robots have no idea how to play bridge), East bids 1S. South passes. West bids 2C, defined as "3+ spades; 12-16 total points". North passes.
It's now East's turn to bid. He has KQ1042, QJ, 109543, 8. Depending on partnership agreements and style, the choice is probably between 2D and 2S (maybe even 3S or 4S for some adventurous souls), so what does East bid? He's a GIBBO robot, so HE bids two...HEARTS. In doing so, he is violating his own GIB definition of "3+ hearts; 5+ spades; Q+ in hearts; 10-12 total points; forcing to 3S". BTW, I'm not sure why SO many GIB definitions LOVE to recommend bidding suits that MIGHT be only three cards and I'm also not sure why GIB thinks it's USEFUL to "promise" as little as a queen in a side suit.
Anyway, East LIES by promising at LEAST three hearts.
South passes. West bids 3C. North passes, and it's now East's turn to bid again. He bids...THREE...HEARTS! You know, when SOME players bid like this, they're actually showing...wait for it, because you might find it SHOCKING...HEARTS! Yes, from what I've been told, some players actually HAVE the suit that they have bid TWICE. But apparently that advanced concept never made its way to the Bizarro World of GIBBO! Let's look at the GIB definition of 3H: "3+ hearts; 5+ spades; Q+ in hearts; 11 total points; forcing".

A hand proving for the Nth time that these sickening GIBBO monstrosities have no idea whatsoever about how to bid two-suiters. Just look at North's foolish, ignorant, comical, pathetic auction.

Trick seven: Earlier in the hand, declarer West pitched a heart (the 3) and defender South pitched a heart (the 6), but this is the first time, apart from those two pitches, that the suit has actually been led and played.
Declarer West now leads his heart 5 towards dummy East's A42. North has Q87. The WORLD would easily and instantly play the 7. North, however, is one of those cursed lumps of dirt known as a GIBBO robot, so HE plays the...QUEEN. This type of "second hand HIGH" (and the accompanying and equally imbecilic "third hand LOW") was a hallmark of the gone (but not at ALL missed!) GIB robots, who - hard as it is to believe - were even WORSE than the garbage known as GIBBO robots. Lorserker supposedly ensured that this second hand high and third hand low madness would stop, but as this hand shows, it still raises its ugly, festering head from time to time.

Stupid lead. What else? Don't ever expect an intelligent lead from a GIBBO robot.
Meanwhile, look at the typically annoying GIB definition of 2S: "Simple raise - 3+ spades; 7-10 total points". Are those first two words ("Simple raise") REALLY necessary, Mr. GIB?
