As Jon and Robin and the In Crowd sang almost 60 years ago, "Do it again just a little bit slower" - ANOTHER roach of a GIBBO "defence".

North's 4D is defined by GIB as "Cue bid - 1+ club; 5+ hearts; 4+ spades; 21- HCP; no ace of clubs; ace of diamonds; 16-22 total points".

So he has the ace of diamonds. That can't be bad. Except, uh,... this is his hand: A753, KQ983, KQJ4, VOID.

Golly gee, it seems he DOESN'T have the ace of diamonds after all.

Furthermore, where's that "1+ club" that his own GIB definition promised? Looks like he actually has NO clubs.

Pathetic as always. These GIBBO misfits can't even get SIMPLE things right. Please throw them all into a trash compactor.

Meanwhile, look at the truly imbecilic lead: a heart INTO declarer, who OPENED 1H,

Isn't BBO embarrassed that its robots are so hopeless?

Superstooge in the East fails to beat the contract. The lamebrained fool fails to play a diamond either before OR after cashing the club ace. GIBBO robots: perennial losers, dumb as rocks, worst of the worst, lowest of the low.

True to form, the GIBBO dimwit in the West leads the spade 10 from his 105 doubleton, rather than the diamond queen.

Valued contributor OMARHEUM has sent a classic this time. It will be the subject not only of this post, but also of the one immediately following. Each will provide a sterling examples of the "defensive" - ahem - "abilities" (ha, ha, ha) of the laugh-inducing (and nausea-inducing) GIBBO robots.

OMAR writes "96 % for making 7 as West drops the king of clubs to keep the 9, thereby allowing my anemic club suit to run for five (!) tricks."

"Anemic" indeed! An excellent and highly appropriate adjective, since OMAR's clubs were Q6532 in his hand opposite stiff ace in his partner's dummy, but against robot "defenders" Johnny Halfwit in the West and Donald J. Dumbo in the East, OMAR had no trouble winning five club tricks and losing none. But I bet Johnny H. later bragged to all his GIBBO brothers and sisters about his BRILLIANT "unblocking" play. Sadly, since all GIBBO robots share the same "intelligence" level as Mr. Halfwit, none will realize that his "unblock" was the act of a BLOCKhead. (I'll see myself out!)

This is the same hand discussed in post #1785 immediately above. Different table, different result, but similarly mind-blowing stupidity by the always repulsive GIBBO robot "defenders".

OMAR writes "My result occurred 6 times. 61 times 3NT made +430. One table reached 6 NT making, with the club suit (and particularly the king of clubs, again playing a prominent role."

OMAR is correct, as usual. I will add that the anonymous human South declaring 6NT here here was clearly operating, which is often a good strategy when playing with and against the incomparably braindead pond scum known as GIBBO robots. The human's operation succeeded magnificently, and it was actually a double operation (his 1NT opener and his 2D response to Stayman).

We see not only the horrendous EW "defence" that OMAR has exposed, but also some typically imbecilic bidding by the overambitious but hugely untalented GIBBO simpleton in the North. Just LOOK at the fool's ludicrous LEAP (!) to 6D, which (sigh!) does not even match his own GIB definition.

GIBBO robots are the worst of the worst and the lowest of they low, a blemish on the face of bridge, and an embarrassment to this otherwise excellent BBO website. It is long past the time to relegate these GIBBO monstrosities to either a landfill or the bottom of the ocean and to replace them with DECENT robots.

It appears that the GIBBO robots that plague BBO never heard of re-opening doubles. GIBBO robots are the pits - the absolute worst, beneath contempt. Does BBO not care that such a key component of its site is so deeply and irrevocably flawed? Is BBO not aware that better robots would make BBO a far superior site?

The ignorant GIBBO piece of trash in the North feels that he MUST...JUMP to FOUR spades over "partner's" THREE hearts. Note, BTW, how awesomely and entirely useless the GIB definition of 4S is. No surprise at all with either the ridiculous 4S bid or the worthless definition, because we have come to expect nothing but garbage from GIBBO and GIB. As that old ungrammatical quote goes, "Pigs is pigs".

GIB definitions are always worth a laugh. Why? Because stupidity is often funny.

GIB claims that West's first call, 3C, shows "4-9 total points". TOTAL points, mind you - not even HIGH-CARD points. So the HCP could even be LOWER than "4-9", because although GIB is too ignorant to realize it, HCP can be equal to or less than "total" points, but they CANNOT be greater.

But in reference to West's second call, his double of 3D, GIB now claims that West has "9+ HCP". THIS time, HCP ARE mentioned, and we're informed that West has at LEAST 9 of them, and possibly as many as 37. What happened since his first call? Did he sneak in some extra points from another deck?

Note, by the way, that despite the gross inconsistency between the two pathetic GIB definitions, West does NOT have "9+ HCP" - he has a mere SIX, a full THREE fewer than the MINIMUM "promised" by the worthless GIB definition.

Note also that the definition of the double confirms for the Nth time that GIB knows nothing, absolutely NOTHING about "total" points.

Why must BBO players, members, and customers always be subjected to these useless GIBBO robots and pathetic GIB definitions?

The *****ous GIBBO numbskull in the East wins the club lead and then...shifts (!!!) to the 10 of...DIAMONDS!

I've asked this question a few times before, but seriously: How many times WERE these imbecilic GIBBO pieces of dirt dropped on their heads during infancy?
