Looking only at the North-South cards, 4H is a reasonable contract, so I have no problem being there, but I think the GIBBO robot bid it poorly anyway. As far as I'm concerned, his leap to 4H was an overbid and his hand was worth only an invitation. I, South, had an easy acceptance, so we would have been there anyway, but on a better auction. With the unfavourable layout the hand will go down, but c'est la vie.
Meanwhile, look at trick seven: For reasons known only to himself and the other GIBBO robots who perpetually live in Bizarro World, East wins his ACE of clubs from AQ1065 (!!!)...with the king and jack still outstanding in the North and West hands (which obviously East cannot see). WHY?
At trick 13, declarer North...WINS his...QUEEN of clubs. Golly gee, I wonder if East could have PREVENTED that?
North-South score 66.04 % for going down "only" two on the board.

The GIBBO robots, sorry - I meant to more accurately say the stunningly stupid GIBBO robots - lead king from ace-king.
Here's an example of why that might not be best - especially if a stunningly stupid GIBBO robot is playing with another stunningly stupid GIBBO robot.
With West's hand, despite normally leading king from AK, maybe with his NINE-diamond hand on THIS auction he should have led the ace anyway, to prevent his IMBECILE of a "partner" from doing what he did, because...
The super-M.O.R.O.N. in the East ruffed (!) the diamond king and cashed the club ace, after which I took the remaining 11 tricks, not losing even a SINGLE diamond trick, as the first diamond had been ruffed (by an I.D.I.O.T.) and I was able to pitch my only remaining diamond, thanks to the favourable club layout.
What do I think of the GIBBO robots? In case you haven't guessed, I think they are...hopeless, pathetic, and BENEATH contempt...and that is obviously based not merely on this one JOKE of a "defence" but on the consistent incompetence they demonstrate.

East's typical GIBBO "logic": "What's the ONLY suit my OPPONENTS bid? Oh, yes, spades. Then I should DEFINITELY lead my jack of spades from J10 doubleton." *****!
Then the oblivious FOOLS manage to COLLAPSE their three GUARANTEED diamond winners into only two, through the BRILLIANT "strategy" of CRASHING two honours (ace and queen) on one trick. Maybe they had just learned about unblocking...but someone should inform these ignorant louts that even when it's RIGHT to unblock, only ONE partner should be unblocking, not BOTH.
My diamond holding was J865 with declarer North opposite 943 with dummy South, while the EW "defenders" had AK10 (West) opposite Q72 (East), yet thanks to these complete nitwits, I lost ONLY two diamond tricks, and I won two on "power". They are so, SO bad, and they prove it over and over every single day.
