How bad are the GIBBO robots? Disgustingly, repulsively, sickeningly, hopelessly, horrendously, suffocatingly bad. They are an embarrassment to bridge.

Over South's 2NT, the monumentally stupid GIBBO robot in the North bids 3D rather than 3H. If the unbridled ignorance of the GIBBO robots could be converted to electricity there would be enough of it to power the entire world until the end of time.

South deals and opens 1NT. All pass. The GIBBO robot sitting West is on lead with 84, 106432, A76, A86. A heart seems very normal, but this dweeb leads the 8 of spades.

The lead happens to be irrelevant here, but why would the imbecile in the East want to lead a heart, declarer's second suit, INTO declarer? Perhaps because like ALL GIBBO robots, he has no idea how to play bridge. These clowns should quit the game and take up another hobby - maybe needlepoint.

Typically stupid lead by the braindead GIBBO robot sitting West. He knows that North has four spades, but ignorant fool that he is, he leads a spade anyway, allowing South to eventually develop a third spade trick and pitch a losing diamond. Hand after hand, these GIBBO robots continue to demonstrate how totally clueless they are. Never in my life have I encountered even a single human player anywhere nearly as bad these simpletons.

West makes a VERY questionable reverse, considering that 3 of his 15 HCP are from the stiff king of spades.

Then the absolute inanity of the pathetic, antiquated, unworkable GIBBO system is exposed, as East bids 2NT, defined as "Artificial 2NT - any weak hand; 4+ spades; 7- HCP; 6-8 total points". What a TRULY stupid way to play! This clown has A1086532, 8, 954, 105. It is absolutely ridiculous that the miserable GIBBO system won't let the poor rube bid two SPADES and instead forces him to bid 2NT. This could very possibly wrongside the hand on numerous layouts, and it doesn't let his partner in on the secret that he has SEVEN spades when he has only promised four. The GIBBO robots are absolutely horrendous and hopeless bridge players, but it's impossible not to feel sorry for them, considering that they are handicapped by a system that is such a piece of worthless garbage.

And this same hand also shows for the Nth time what *****ous leaders the robots are. South's double showed clubs and hearts, so of COURSE North doesn't lead either of THOSE suits, because the GIBBO robots DETEST leading any suit that their partner has shown. So what does North lead? A spade - the suit his LHO has shown, because the robots LOVE leading enemy suits.

The GIBBO robots play a system that is pure garbage, endure hilariously bad GIB definitions, can't make intelligent leads, and can't defend.

Yeah, but how's their bidding? Oh, glad you asked. Their bidding stinks. Here's an example:

East passes. South opens 1C. West passes. North has J10, AJ98, AQ8742, 7, and bids 1D. Hey, maybe I was wrong! 1D is a perfect bid. Let's see if his perfect bidding continues. Maybe I'll have to apologize!

East bids 1S. South makes a support double, showing exactly three diamonds. West bids 2S.

It's now North's turn to bid. Will he continue his PERFECT bidding on the hand? Will I be forced to apologize? This is SCARY. I'm VERY nervous. What will he do? What will I say if I have to apologize? Oh, here it comes. He's opening his mouth to speak. He bids...FOUR DIAMONDS!

The absolute M.O.R.O.N. bids a RIDICULOUS four diamonds instead of an EASY, simple, NORMAL three hearts! I'm off the hook! I don't have to apologize! He has PROVEN my point that the bidding of the GIBBO robots stinks! They are beneath contempt!

North-South have an uninterrupted auction as East-West pass throughout.

North has AQ10, 5, KJ10986, 764. He opens 2D. South bids 2H, defined as "Rebiddable hearts; 14+ total points; forcing to 3D". North...LEAPS (??!!) to three...NO TRUMP, perhaps on the strength of his CLUB "stopper" of 764.

The 3NT bid is defined as "1-4 clubs; 6+ diamonds; 1-3 hearts; 1-3 spades; 10-12 HCP; 12+ total points; partial stopper in clubs; partial stopper in spades", so don't blame the robot - blame the ridiculous system and pathetic definitions that he's saddled with.

The definition actually SAYS that to LEAP to three NO TRUMP he can have a SINGLETON in ANY of his three non-diamond suits. WHY would HE want to declare NO TRUMP from HIS side with a singleton in an unbid suit? But GIB is apparently totally cool with that, because with this definition GIB is basically RECOMMENDING such stupidity.

Stupid lead (is there any other kind?) by stupid GIBBO robot (is there any other kind?):

Result was obviously fine, but I don't see why North was in such a RUSH to play hearts at tricks 3 and 4:

The clueless and hopeless East-West "defenders" fail to cash out their third TOP TRICK and then get pseudo-squeezed out of it. Is it really necessary for me to mention that they are both...GIBBO robots? No, I didn't think it was either.

Definitely not the greatest defence of all time:

East's silly lead gives away the whole show, allowing declarer to waltz home with 13 (!) tricks.

I have some sympathy for West, but let's just say that his lead did not work out well for him:

Here, however, as opposed to post #774 directly above, I have absolutely NO sympathy for East's lead on the given auction. What a TROUT!
