The hand in question.
I think I showed a strong minor two-suiter ... How did GIB find the pass to make us play slam in opponents long major??? There must be an error somewhere to correct.

Not sure I understand your question.
It looks like GiB North bid a RKCB ask in clubs and you replied 6S.
GiB East did well not to double you into 7C, if that is what you mean.

Wow incredible that 6♠ has a defined meaning.

Yes, Steve2005, it IS incredible that 6S has a defined meaning, but given that it's a GIB definition, it's not at all incredible that it has such a remarkably STUPID defined meaning. GIB/GIBBO is a pathetic joke.

If you think GIBs bidding is so "pathetic," there is a incredibly simple solution: stop playing with it! No one is forcing you to log on and play with a robot. Either adapt, stop complaining or go find a table with human players.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Thanks for the advice, Jilly, but I happen to enjoy the robot games in spite of how poor the GIBBO robots are. For that reason I continue to play them. Guess what, Jilly? If I didn't enjoy the games (in spite of the low quality of the GIBBO robots), I wouldn't play them, because as you astutely pointed out, such a solution would quite obviously be "incredibly simple".
I would, of course, enjoy the games infinitely more if the GIBBO robots were competent, as I'm sure many (perhaps most) people would, but sadly we have to make do with the robots that the site provides. Our only hope of the robots being improved (or replaced by better ones) is to persist in pointing out the numerous examples of their low quality, just as in all aspects of life. If you sit silently by and just accept mediocrity (or worse) then you are probably forever doomed to suffer it. Politics can provide many examples of this. Only by speaking out against injustice or imperfection can we hope to improve bad situations. Do you think the definition of 6S on the hand in question makes any sense whatsoever? Wouldn't YOU prefer to play with and against better robots?
