I have a request: Could I please have this East "defend" against me on EVERY hand I declare? Thank you in advance.

Result was fine, as 5H took 11 tricks for a shared top of 81.26 %, but that doesn't excuse North's bid of 4H, which was defined as "5+ hearts; 13-16 total points". What the GIBBO simpleton actually HAD was 7, 1098754, AQ, Q985.

No complaint about the result (96.43 %) and with only 11 opposite 11 we weren't going anywhere anyway, but North's 2D bid was a JOKE. The GIBBO robots are usually overbidders, and yet this craven coward VERY atypically bid a pusillanimous (not to mention STUPID) 2D. To varying degrees, 2NT, 3D, and 2C (if that's NMF by a passed hand in the GIBBO system?) all would have made more sense.

West not so brilliantly throws away two diamonds, thereby allowing declarer to win THREE (!) diamond tricks and TEN in all. Just a NORMAL "defence" for a...GIBBO robot!

I'm currently playing a game with three GIBBO robots. What this means is that, as usual, hand after hand I am constantly being reminded of how awesomely, disgustingly bad the GIBBO robots are. They stink - they all stink whether North, East, or West - at every aspect of bridge. It's long past the time that they should have been put out to pasture and replaced with better robots.

In 3NT, North took five diamond tricks. Fair enough.

In 3NT, North took four club tricks. Fair enough.

In 3NT, North took two spade tricks. Fa...whoa, whoa, WHOA...Hold the BUS, because TWO spade tricks is definitely NOT "fair enough"!

Look no further than trick ONE to see how North took TWO spade tricks.

Yes, the "defenders" WERE GIBBO robots. How did you ever guess?

What a STUPID lead by the GIBBO robot sitting West!

Luckily it didn't really matter, but why the HELL would North lead a club rather than a diamond? Oops, sorry, silly question, because the answer is OBVIOUS: North didn't lead a diamond because his "partner" South OPENED 1D, and as we all know, the GIBBO robots HATE to lead their partner's suit. They MUCH prefer to lead anything else, even if - as was the case with the club lead here - there is absolutely NO reason for doing so.

For further insight into the...ahem..."brain" (ha, HA, HA!) of a GIBBO robot, look at trick 7: North, having won trick 6, is now on lead and chooses to (finally) lead a diamond. Diamonds have never been played so far. All 13 diamonds are still in hands all around the table. North can only see his hand and dummy East's, to his left. North's diamonds are Q1032. Dummy East's are KJ9. North leads his...QUEEN of diamonds! The ignorance is staggering.

If our ancestors had been GIBBO robots rather than cavemen, fire would never have been discovered and dinosaurs would now rule our planet.

On lead at trick three, East plays a spade. It didn't matter WHAT he played, since declarer had 11 tricks, but surely a heart made much more sense than a spade. Even when it doesn't matter in PRACTICE, the GIBBO robots STILL manage to do what's wrong in THEORY, perhaps to maintain their well-deserved reputation as total dimwits.

West would rather play a six-card fit than a nine-card fit.

East, in typical GIBBO robot style, feels that he MUST "rescue" his partner West from 2D to his own MAMMOTH suit of...the Q1065 of hearts. The ignoramus lucks out when West bids THREE diamonds and makes eleven tricks, but the "rescue" operation is a perfect example of how extraordinarily, flamboyantly, outrageously STUPID these clueless GIBBO robots are.

The dimwits score 17.9 % on the board, while North-South score 82.1 %...but even if the East-West GIBBO robots had scored a HUNDRED percent, they would STILL be total *****s and the "rescue" would STILL have been something that only an absolute M.O.R.O.N. (such as any and every GIBBO robot!) would do. They rot.

4H made and scored 85.7 % on the board for North-South. All well and good...except that North's bidding was NOT all well and good.

His 2H call was defined as "Invite major - 5+ hearts; 4+ spades; 9 HCP". He did NOT have "9 HCP", he had 7. If he's GOING to bid this way with hands such as this (and obviously he IS, since he DID), then...change the definition (!!!!!) so that it's accurate and honest!

Part of the reason the GIBBO robots stink as bridge players is that their system is lousy and their definitions are a pitiful joke.

I think North's 4S bid is silly. What the Hell is his rush? I also hate the antiquated, highly inferior Blackwood structure forced on us by the always poor GIBBO system. So there we were in an impossible 6S.

But when you're playing against some of the worst bridge players of all time, the GIBBO robots, NOTHING is impossible.

The stunningly stupid GIBBO robot sitting East had A74, 3, J8753, AJ96. He was on lead. He proved that he's less intelligent than a pile of roadside dirt when he led...his stiff 3 of hearts. This absolute M.O.R.O.N. was staring at TWO ACES in his OWN hand, but I guess he was hoping his partner would win a THIRD (!!!!!) partnership ace (in hearts) and give him a ruff. Unbelievable! The *****ous reject got what he deserved when I won the heart, cashed two diamonds to pitch both of North's clubs, and then lost ONLY to the spade ace.

It was not exactly a surprise that an "impossible" 1430 was worth 100 % on the board for North-South, and it was CERTAINLY not a surprise that the braindead fool in the West had "earned" yet ANOTHER zero to add to his ENORMOUS, overflowing collection of lifetime zeroes.

Not only are the pathetic and disgusting GIBBO robots worse than even the WORST human player I have ever seen, they are FAR worse. They are unimaginably atrocious...and they prove it hand after hand, day after day. There are definitely not enough words in the English language to accurately describe how completely useless they are at bridge.

The ignorant fool in the East stupidly attempts to cash his diamond ace at trick 5.

You're right! He WAS a GIBBO robot. How did you guess?

Do I recommend my own bidding on this hand as South? Of course not - it's ridiculous. So why did I do it? Because I was playing with and against GIBBO robots! Against them I occasionally make, as I did here, ...let's just say non-traditional (ha, ha) bids in such games, because I know from the start that my partner is totally incompetent and that my opponents also are. It's sometimes amusing to make outlandish bids and see what happens. If they work out well, then great, and if they work out poorly, then no problem because I knew from the start that I was rolling the dice. Experimentation can be interesting and fun from time to time. This "experiment" revealed for the Nth time how "good" the GIBBO robots are at "defending". They're SO "good" that they gave me a score of 100 % for my crazy bidding and they gave themselves yet another ZERO percent score to add to their massive lifetime collection of complete and total failures. They probably belong in The Guinness Book of World Records.

West begins the travesty by making the ridiculous lead of his stiff jack of hearts (trump), one of the many self-harming arrows that these *****s have in their quiver. I win in hand and lead the club king. West wins his ace and immediately plays another club, because these abject fools LOVE to return the suit that DECLARER just played. His stupidity allows me to win dummy's 10 - something I could not have done without his kind and generous assistance. In addition to giving me a trick with the club 10, the twit has given me a free dummy entry - something that I was very short of!

I use that FREE entry to play diamond to my queen, pleased to see that it wins, and marking East with the king. Then at trick five, I play a spade to dummy's ace, my ONLY legitimate table entry (if the GIBBO loser on my left had not been stupid enough to give me the earlier FREE club entry. I attempt to cash the club queen, but can't because that wily East - oh, he's MUCH too smart to let me do that - ruffs...but from his remaining Q963, he feels that he MUST ruff with the...NINE. What? Why? Well, probably because he's a GIBBO robot, and they are so stunningly clueless that it appears here, as it often does, that they treat all spot cards as interchangeable equals.

I let the clown have his moment of glory - one of the very few that he has ever had in his depressing lifetime of constant, unrelenting failure at bridge. I don't overruff - I pitch my last spade. What does this SUPER-imbecile now do? Does he play his queen of spades, forcing me to trump and giving me nothing? Of COURSE he doesn't. HE'S a GIBBO robot, so HE plays a...diamond!!! This fabulously stupid play allows me to avoid the loss of a diamond, as I slide it to dummy's jack (the second FREE dummy entry that these two abject losers have given me on this hand). I ruff a club as East pitches his diamond king (which has become worthless because of his stupid and costly diamond play a trick earlier).

I cash the king of hearts. Amazingly, East figures out not to drop his queen under it (ha, ha). Although I'm joking, he is SO stupid that I wouldn't be surprised if he DID drop it...but, to his credit, he kept it. Then at trick 10, I appropriately lead my 10 of hearts because ya gotta love that symmetry! Note that my 10 and 8 of hearts are EQUALS. Why? Because when East ruffed dummy's club queen at trick six, he NEEDLESSLY did so with his NINE rather than his 3 or 6, ultimate LOSER that he is, always has been, and sadly probably always will be.

East wins his heart queen and belatedly plays his spade queen, but I ruff it with my heart 4 and CASH my heart 8 (thanks for earlier WASTING your MINE, Mr. East!) and then take trick 13 with the diamond ace. 10 tricks. Plus 420. 100 %...on a hand that I bid as ridiculously as a GIBBO robot but a hand where the "defensive" "prowess" of the INCOMPARABLY incompetent GIBBO robots allowed me to make it. Have I ever mentioned that they absolutely ROT at bridge? Oh, I have? Sorry then, but I'm also sorry to say that I will probably mention the same thing MANY more times in the future, because facts are facts, and it's a sad fact that the GIBBO robots absolutely DO rot!

Looking ONLY at the auction and not at ANY of the four hands, would you not think that North's actions were truly bizarre?

Consider: He PASSED his partner South's opening bid of 1H but on his NEXT turn to call, he FREELY bid FIVE CLUBS.

If you now look at the hands, you will see that his 5C call was justified and wise (two words RARELY used to describe ANYTHING the GIBBO robots do). However, you will also see that his initial pass identifies him as someone who has no idea whatsoever of how to play bridge.

At trick 11, the GIBBO robot in the West butchers the DECLARER PLAY, the one part of bridge that he is supposedly best at, by playing a diamond instead of either black suit. A CHIMPANZEE would have had a two out of three chance of pulling a better card than the GIBBO robot did. That makes sense, because from what I've seen of both, the chimpanzee is probably more intelligent.

[benellis58]

Why in the world does North bid a MEANINGLESS 3H? He already opened the bidding 1C, and he has a minimum and entirely unexceptional AK10, KQ9, 82, 98752. He really has no reason to bid ANYTHING at this point, but if he INSISTS on bidding, why not 2NT with his DOUBLE stoppers in BOTH enemy suits (hearts and spades)?

Instead, just like the abominable, hopeless GIBBO robots so often and so stupidly do, he spits out a ridiculous 3H cuebid (???) 0r whatever his twisted imagination thinks it's supposed to be.

The typically USELESS GIB definition of his typically imbecilic 3H bid is..."3+ clubs; 13-21 HCP; 15-22 total points; forcing to 3NT". That piece of trash tells us NOTHING - not one thing - that we did not already presume from his initial 1C opening.

Here's a suggestion, GIB and GIBBO: If you have NOTHING to say...then SAY NOTHING.

By the way, some of the WORST things I see from the GIBBO robots are things that I don't document here. I'm afraid that innocent readers might be CORRUPTED by them!

[benellis58]

Once West decides to lead a major, why does he select his shorter and weaker heart suit of Q97 rather than his longer and stronger spade suit of Q1094?
