Against 3NT, the halfbaked GIBBO nincompoop in the West shows his ignorance by leading a small heart INTO declarer, who had OPENED one HEART. There is NO hope for these GIBBO hicks.

Our result was fine (a shared top of 96.34 %), but where the HELL did North's insane 3S call come from? What a pigeon!

And meanwhile, East's 2D in balancing seat is ridiculous for the opposite reason. In his case, it's a super-cowardly underbid by another GIBBO pigeon. They ALL rot.

Once again our result was fine (a shared top this time of 96.43 %), but where the HELL did North's insane 3NT (!) call come from? What a pigeon! I could understand either a conservative pass or a mildly aggressive 4S, but 3NT is beyond the pale. It also ignores his own GIB definition, which states that it shows "8-15 HCP" while he has a mere FIVE.

Superstooge in the West switches to a trump at trick two. How is THAT going to help his side? What an I.D.I.O.T., what a pigeon.

West: "Oh, you want diamond ruffs, so you, 'partner'? Well, you're out of luck, little man, because instead of your stinking diamond ruffs, I'm going to give both of us another complete ZERO for our world-famous collection, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, pigeon!"

58.33 % for going down "only" two in 5H, but that's not the story. The story is GIBBO's absolutely pathetic bidding system.

On this random hand, it actually would have been best to PASS (!!!!!) 4S, but I think that would be ridiculous with South's fairly strong 0-6-2-5 hand at favourable vulnerability.

I wanted to indicate a two-suited hand, so I checked the appropriate definitions and saw, to my total LACK of surprise, that the always hopeless and wretched GIBBO joke of a system has no way to do so.

The insipid definition of 4NT was "4+ clubs; 4+ diamonds; 17+ HCP" - pathetic, ridiculous, and useless, as always.

The definition of double was even worse. This is it in its entirety! "2+ spades". That's it, that's ALL! Whoever composed this stinking piece of GIB trash presumably felt it was PERFECT. In reality, it is perhaps THE worst definition I have EVER seen ANYWHERE, which is saying a lot, because I have seen numerous GIB definitions and most of them are absolutely wretched. THIS one, however, takes the cake. It tells us NOTHING about his shape or his strength other than the TOTALLY useless "information" that he has at least two spades. Who CARES about that?

It does NOT say whether the double is penalty, takeout, "co-operative", "cards", DSI, or ANYTHING else. It's a...DUH...definition (!!!), but it doesn't DEFINE...ANYTHING! It is quite literally a NON-definition!

GIB apparently thinks it's FINE for him to double 4S...whether he has ZERO HCP...or THIRTY-SEVEN HCP.

GIB apparently thinks it's FINE for him to double with a pancake flat 4-3-3-3 shape...or with a 2-11-0-0 shape...or, in fact with ANY shape...as long as South has that MAGICAL number of at least two spades (and why in HELL, by the way, MUST he have at least two spades?).

How can North ever have ANY idea of what to do with ANY hand, when this piece of garbage GIB definition tells him NOTHING even REMOTELY useful?

Someone actually took the time to write this utter garbage of a definition for the double? Why did that person even bother? Did he actually think his piece of trash had ANY use, ANY merit whatsoever? And obviously this useless piece of junk has never been proofread or improved. GIB/GIBBO is a truly shoddy piece of work. If it were a building, it would have been condemned by city inspectors and bulldozed years ago.

No wonder the GIB/GIBBO robots are the worst bridge players of all time, given that they are saddled with the worst system and definitions of all time.

There was once a movie called "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium". Perhaps a sequel could be made: "If It's Tuesday, The GIBBO Robots Must Be 'Playing Bridge' Like the Useless Pieces of Trash That They Are".

Perhaps Scorsese could direct.

[benellis58]

Look at the typically insane 4H bid by the clueless piece of GIBBO trash in the West.

Note also the typically ridiculous and pathetic GIB definition of that same insane 4H bid: "3+ diamonds; 4+ hearts; 8- total points".

Were psychedelic drugs involved in the creation of this completely imbecilic definition or is it just the usual GIB brainlessness?

If he can actually have at LEAST four hearts, and possibly ONLY three diamonds, then why the HELL would he initially have bid three DIAMONDS in t=response to his partner's double?

And if he has at MOST eight TOTAL points (not EVEN high-card points!), why the HELL would he now VOLUNTARILY be bidding FOUR hearts over the enemy 3S?

And for that matter, why the HELL...IS he bidding FOUR (!) hearts on his ratty THREE(!)-bagger (!)...with his flattish 4-3-4-2 shape...opposite a "partner" who could not open the bidding?

Is GIB brainlessness the sole reason for all this nonsense or IS there something more sinister, because this goes BEYOND the "mere" GIB stupidity that we have all come to know and despise.

GIB/GIBBO is the worst garbage anywhere. Why does BBO still have it polluting this website? Why hasn't BBO gotten rid of this dismal GIB/GIBBO trash and replaced it with a DECENT alternative?

Watch how a GIBBO robot "declares". You won't have to watch long - just the first two tricks.

Since North had bid 3D, South makes the normal lead of the diamond 2 (from 1072) against East's 3S contract. Dummy West tables the Q83 and declarer makes the normal play of calling for the 3. North (with AJ65) makes the normal play of inserting the jack. East makes the normal play of winning his king (from K94).

All normal so far...as I made obvious by using the word in all four actions taken in the preceding paragraph. But now we are about to leave the NORMAL world and enter Bizarro World, home of the always inept GIBBO robots.

Declarer East elects to play another diamond at trick two. Fair enough. It looks from the auction and play like the NS diamonds are 4-3, and East desperately needs a dummy entry. He plays his 4 from his remaining 94 dub. South follows with the 7 from his remaining 107 dub, and then...

Declarer calls for dummy's QUEEN (!!!) from its remaining Q8 doubleton! This is NOT a NORMAL play and NOT a GOOD play! It is the type of stunningly HORRENDOUS play specialized in by the clueless, hopeless, worthless GIBBO robots.

The incompetent GIBBO "declarer" loses two diamond tricks and wins only one (the king that he scored at trick one). After the opening diamond lead, declarer SHOULD have WON two diamond tricks and lost ONLY one.

All the ignorant rube had to do was stick in dummy's EIGHT instead of the queen, but, being a contemptible piece of trash GIBBO robot, he was too overwhelmingly stupid to make the clear and obvious play.

The M.O.R.O.N.'s imbecilic play of the queen would ONLY have been "right" if ALL THREE of these situations had occurred: First, South would have had to have UNDERLED his diamond ace on opening lead. Second, North would have had to have played his JACK of diamonds while holding both the jack and the ten, thereby making an abnormal defensive play that might easily have misled his PARTNER South. Third, South, having ALREADY underled his ace at trick one, would now, at trick two, have to be ducking with that same ace.

The likelihood of ALL THREE of those circumstances happening is close to zero. The GIBBO "declarer" BOTCHED the hand, plain and simple, and succeeded only in EARNING a shared BOTTOM on the board for his lousy GIBBO partnership. These robot misfits are quite obviously not even good at DECLARING! Why have they not been incinerated and then replaced by COMPETENT robots?

This board was played 15 times, always in 1S by South and always on the same auction.

Two Souths made 9 tricks, scoring 96.43 % on the board.
Seven, including yours truly, made 6 tricks, scoring 64.29 %.
Five made 5 tricks, scoring 21.43 %.
One made 3 tricks, scoring zero.

But the point of this post is North's STUPID pass (!) of South's 1S opening bid. Regardless of the result on this random hand, regardless of the layout of this random hand, North's PASS (!)...with 3, AJ32, 108654, 1032 shows that he knows NOTHING about bidding, NOTHING about bridge, and NOTHING about common sense.

In other words, he is an IDEAL candidate to be a GIBBO robot, where the stupider you are the MORE you fit the GIBBO profile!

[benellis58]

Eleven tricks in spades for East-West is a perfectly normal result on any lead, and we duly scored a very average 53.57 % on the board for our minus 450. so - as always - I am not complaining about either our result or our score. As ALMOST always, however, I AM complaining about the unparalleled ignorance and perversity of the despicable GIBBO robots.

Knowing that I was at unfavourable vulnerability, and more importantly knowing that my GIBBO "partner" was, by definition, ignorant pond scum, there was NO way that I was going to give him a free shot at blowing the board, so I bid 2C rather than either 2H or an Unusual 2NT. I figured, additionally, that if West happened to end up declaring, EVEN the braindead twit in the North (as hopeless a "bridge player" as has EVER existed) MIGHT find a club lead.

Well, West DID end up declaring...but the lump of dirt in the North did NOT lead a club. For absolutely NO reason, the repulsive jerk led a heart. Had declarer inserted dummy's NINE rather than the queen, he would have emerged with an "impossible" TWELVE tricks after North's I.D.I.O.T.I.C. lead, but fortunately declarer was also a cursed GIBBO robot, so he was too overwhelmingly incompetent to even THINK of the play and took only the NORMAL eleven tricks.

He would have taken eleven even if North had made the NORMAL (!!!) club lead, so - as often happens - pure LUCK saved GIBBO North, but that does NOT change the fact that he made a TYPICALLY stupid lead!

GIB/GIBBO robots are the worst. They are FAR worse than even the WORST human bridge player I have EVER encountered in decades of play. They rot. They stink. They are useless, hopeless, annoying, contemptible garbage, and yet BBO seems to see no reason for replacing them with DECENT robots...despite the fact that in 2026 there ARE robots much better than these hopeless GIB/GIBBO pieces of slime.

Another typically stupid lead (and later continuation!) by another disgusting GIBBO robot. Does he lead a DIAMOND, the suit that his "PARTNER" opened, that HE (North) supported, and where HE (North) has the AQ? Of COURSE he doesn't.

Well then, does he lead the club king, which appears to be a NORMAL, NATURAL lead staring him in the face with his KQ? Of COURSE he doesn't. HE'S a contemptible GIBBO robot, the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, so HE stupidly - and, as usual, for absolutely NO reason WHATSOEVER, leads the 9 of spades (the suit that EAST had bid!) from his worthless 92 doubleton...and after winning his diamond ace AND (!) SEEING (!) what had happened at trick one, plays a SECOND spade.

If you have ever stepped on a piece of dirty, sticky gum and subsequently pried it off the soles of your shoes, just remember this: That moldy, possibly infected piece of chewed gum was...likely more intelligent than a GIBBO robot!

https://www.bridgeba...H6%7Cmc%7C10%7C

[benellis58]

Another in the ENDLESS series of examples conclusively PROVING that the despicable GIBBO robots are not only the worst "bridge players" of ALL time, but also that they are the most perverse and the most illogical.

Just LOOK at North's ridiculous 3D bid. His partner South, as dealer, opened 1D. West made a takeout double, North bid 1S, and East passed. South then bid 2C and West passed.

Now it was North's turn. He had K10965, Q, K64, Q753, and decided to make an invitational bid in one of South's minors. Okay, fair enough.

But instead of raising 2C to 3C...with his FOUR(!)-card club support, he ILLOGICALLY and PERVERSELY...jumped to three DIAMONDS (!) on his THREE(!)-card support!

How the HELL can ANYONE justify such a LUDICROUS action? How the HELL is it that some VERY naive people can say that the repulsive, hopeless GIBBO robots are "better than most human players"?

Note ALSO the "BRILLIANT" "defence" (ha, HA, HA!) by the stunningly braindead GIBBO robot (Donald J. Dumbo perhaps?) in the East. At trick two, if he makes the apparently oh-so-difficult play of winning dummy's diamond (trump) king with his ace, his side (EW) will score TWO diamond (trump) tricks, because West will later get his jack from his remaining J9 dub BEHIND South's remaining Q103 tripleton. But East...DUCKS the diamond king and East-West's "guaranteed" (!) second trump trick...VANISHES! But just in CASE South MIGHT have SOMEHOW gone wrong in diamonds (trump) even AFTER East's fatuous duck, West wins his heart ace at trick three and then plays his JACK of diamonds from his remaining J9 dub to East's ace, ensuring that declarer CANNOT misguess.

Face facts: GIB/GIBBO robots are nothing but GARBAGE as "bridge players".

Let's also use this hand to quite justifiably bash some of the always pathetic GIB definitions:

1D: It begins, sadly typically, with three TOTALLY useless, unnecessary, annoying, insulting words: "Minor-suit opening". Is that of use to ANYONE? Did the creator of these outstandingly poor definitions actually think he was doing a good job by including those words?

1S: It begins "Free bid; new suit". Mr. GIB, do you honestly think that you really needed to mention those two facts to ANYONE in the known universe?

2C: It begins "Opener two rebid". Mr. GIB, do you think there is ANYONE...ANYWHERE who could not have figured this out by themselves?

Maybe the creator should have spent more time writing ACCURATE definitions that actually answered questions that NEEDED to be answered (and often were NOT answered in the pathetic GIB definitions). Maybe THEN he would have created a body of work that was NOT the worst set of definitions ever!

You know what I find annoying?

I find it annoying that I like BBO for many reasons and that I like playing robot games, but that if I want to play in robot games on BBO, I have to do so while playing "with" and against the supremely disgusting, nauseating, sickening, contemptible, hopeless, useless pieces of trash known as GIBBO robots...even though in 2026 DECENT robots DO exist. Sadly, they do NOT exist on BBO.

Yep, that's what I find annoying.

[benellis58]

My usual comment that regardless of the random result and random layout on this random hand, I think that, looking only at his own hand, North should bid Stayman rather than transferring. In a GOOD system (obviously not in a hopeless, antiquated, illogical, redundant, incomplete, poorly defined, horrendous one such as GIB/GIBBO), he could safely do that. I realize that some human players (amazingly, even some good ones) would disagree with me on this, but I stand by my opinion.

https://www.bridgeba...CS5%7Cmc%7C9%7C

[benellis58]

Trick six: The GIBBO piece of trash in the North stupidly (yet typically!) plays his TEN of spades from his remaining 105 doubleton, thereby making it IMPOSSIBLE for declarer to go wrong in the suit.

This is emblematic of the countless "small" errors that the useless GIBBO dolts make hand after hand after hand, and is just one reason that they are among the worst and most nauseating "bridge players" of all time. GIB/GIBBO rots from top to bottom, side to side, and everywhere around and in between. GIB/GIBBO is a hideous, repulsive joke whose punchline stopped being funny a long, long time ago. GIB/GIBBO rots.

Look at the definition of East's double of 4D. GIB defines it as showing "3+ clubs; 2- diamonds; 5+ hearts; 5+ spades".

This is not the FIRST time that we see that GIB needs to go back to elementary school and learn Grade Three arithmetic.

If East has at LEAST five hearts and at LEAST five spades (and possibly MORE of either or even both) as the definition states (and also as his earlier Michaels bid PROMISED), that means that he has at LEAST ten cards in the majors (5 + 5). That, in turn, means that he has at MOST three cards in clubs and diamonds COMBINED (and might have even fewer than three). Yet the typically pathetic GIB definition claims that the double shows "three PLUS clubs". No, Mr. GIB, NO! He could have THREE clubs (as, in fact, he does on this hand) but he CANNOT have three PLUS clubs! Go visit a local elementary school and ask a Grade Three student to explain to you why what you ignorantly wrote is a mathematical impossibility.

[benellis58]

Trick two: A normal North player would insert the heart SEVEN at trick two. A GIBBO dweeb, as we see, plays the NINE. It's irrelevant on the hand, but it exemplifies the ignorance and perversity of the GIBBO pieces of trash.

Trick three: The same ignorant piece of GIBBO trash wins his diamond queen at trick four, and then plays DIAMONDS...AGAIN at trick five and AGAIN at trick six. Why? Because he's a GIBBO robot, which means that he is a braindead dirtbag with no idea how to play bridge.
