Lord knows why West is doubling 5C, but look at the typically wretched GIB definition: "8+ HCP; 8- total points".
Not only is it the completely useless garbage that we always expect from a GIB definition. Not only does it tell his "partner" NOTHING useful. Not only does it show that, as usual, the author of these pathetic GIB definitions has some ridiculous idea that POINTS are the only things that matter.
It also shows - for maybe the ten millionth time - that the author of the always execrable GIB definitions has absolutely NO understanding WHATSOEVER of "total" points, because he once again gets things totally bass-ackwards when he states that the HIGH-card points are 8 or MORE, but the "total" points are 8 or LESS. Talk about putting ignorance on public display!
And, to add to the laughter, note that West does NOT have the "8+ HCP" promised by the joke of a definition: He has a mere FIVE!

4D: Silly bid. Yes, he has a stiff diamond and four spades. Whoopy-doo. He ALSO has a dynamite source of tricks with his heart suit...AND he's WASTING several levels of bidding space that COULD be used SCIENTIFICALLY by making his silly jump from ONE spade to FOUR diamonds in an UNINTERRUPTED auction!
If GIB robots wore shoes, they'd probably put them on the wrong feet...if they didn't try to wear them as ear muffs!
If you're looking at a GIB robot, don't waste your time looking for a brain, because I think your search will come up empty.

Another interesting thread is linked below.
As Asbell pointed out in his comment on the linked thread, zero is indeed an even number, so we can't say the robot is incorrect on the first board, but the robot DOES commit one of his USUAL sins on the second board. I agree with Svengolly that regardless of result the robot should NOT be bidding game after his partner South has rejected his game try. If the robot's intention was ALWAYS to bid game, he should have just leapt to it after his partner's first raise. Alternately, once he chose to instead make a game try, he should have respected his partner's opinion - again, REGARDLESS of what the result turned out to be.
The robot's bidding on the second hand was completely inconsistent and his 4S call was a slap in the face to South, proving that the GIBBO robots are horrible PARTNERS in addition to being horrible at bridge.

Stupid, stupid, STUPID pop of the heart ace at trick three by the ever-ignorant Donald J. Dumbo in the East. The sleepy old nitwit manages to turn his side's two NATURAL trump winners into only one. What a jackass. What a LOSER.

MANDATED auction which exposes the IMBECILIC bidding of GIBBO and the always WRETCHED GIB definitions of the clearly unqualified author who wrote them.
Why would anyone EVER bid that ridiculous 3H? Note that North does not even come CLOSE to his own GIB definition of "4- diamonds" (since he has SIX of them!) or "6+ hearts" (since he has only FOUR of THEM!).
THEN, after a trusting South raises 3H to 4H, North bids 5D...which SHOULD be a cuebid in support of hearts. Of course, the numbskull is actually RUNNING from hearts to diamonds, which should NOT work, because South SHOULD interpret 5D as a CUEBID for hearts and therefore shoudd NOT pass.
BUT...South - INEXPLICABLY (!) - DOES pass! If a HUMAN partnership had this auction, they would be accused of cheating!
Meanwhile, let's look at the laughable GIB definition of 5D:
Among other things, it repeats the incorrect nonsense about showing "4- diamonds" and "6+ hearts". It also (sigh) reveals (yet AGAIN!) the clueless author's total ignorance of "total" points, by stating that the call shows "12 PLUS HCP" and "12 MINUS total points" - thereby getting the concept completely BACKWARDS, as usual. Maybe the author should have READ a bridge book before WRITING his always miserable definitions.
At least the definition DOES...CORRECTLY state that 5D is a "cuebid" and is "forcing" (even though the description does NOT match the actual HAND that the M.O.R.O.N.I.C. North robot HOLDS!). However, despite this (surprisingly!) CORRECT part of the definition, South...PASSES (!) the "FORCING" "CUEBID"! Again, if a a HUMAN did this, he would be accused of cheating!
The author of the GIB definitions deserves the title of Worst Definition Writer Ever. AND...oh yeah, GIB/GIBBO bidding absolutely and TOTALLY stinks.
GIB/GIBBO is the armpit of bridge! GIB/GIBBO rots. GIB/GIBBO sucks pumice. GIB/GIBBO is the WORST.

Trick five: North, being an imbecilic GIBBO robot (as they ALL are), prefers to lead CLUBS (the suit DECLARER bid) rather than DIAMONDS (the suit his "partner" South bid). Yes, North is an I.D.I.O.T. Was there EVER any doubt?

The unbelievably STUPID lead of the DEUCE (!) of hearts from AK2 tripleton (!) blocks the heart suit ON THE FLY (!) and prevents these GIBBO M.0.R.O.N.S. from taking their four TOP heart tricks!
Yes indeed, it WAS that sleepy old loser Donald J. Dumbo on lead. How did you ever guess?

Why is East bidding 2S? Yes, I see that he has a decent 11 HCP. I also see that he is a pancake flat 3-4-3-3 and that his "partner" West is a passed hand.
Why is North bidding 3D...directly...in NON-passout position...vulnerable...when he has only a stiff spade, the suit his partner has emphasized?
Note also the typically ridiculous and useless GIB definition of 3D, which obviously thinks it would be PERFECTLY fine to bid 3D with as FEW as four diamonds and as little as ZERO (!) HCP (since the typically LAZY and VAGUE definition says the bid shows "11- HCP", which literally means zero to eleven).
That same piece of trash definition claims that the bid shows "9-12 total points", a statement that is worthless, since the definition's author has repeatedly proven that he has no understanding of "total" points. And for added amusement, the North hand does NOT have CLOSE TO even NINE points. A joke from start to finish - as expected from GIB.
And why the HELL is East bidding 3H (!!!)...freely (!) and directly (!) over North's 3D - with the exact same values that he had ALREADY shown earlier with his 2S call? Note also that the pathetic GIB definition of 3H claims that it shows "4+ clubs" even though the GIBBO twit has only THREE clubs...of REALLY poor "quality" : the 654.
The end result is that these EW GIBBO M.O.R.O.N.S. get to the ridiculous level of 4C...for NO reason.
GIB/GIBBO is the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, the bottom of the barrel. GIB/GIBBO is pure garbage top to bottom, side to side, inside and out.

Surely North should bid 4D rather than 4H. Yes, I am well aware that a heart slam is bad in theory on this random layout and will not make in practice, but if North CORRECTLY bids 4D, it does not FORCE us to a doomed slam. However, a CORRECT 4D call will probably get us to a GOOD...or even COLD 6H when it's RIGHT to be there!
