I know I had a hole in hearts but I thought we had 37-39 points

North's auction is, of course, ridiculous, but not at all surprising for a GIB/GIBBO robot. Their 2C structure is horrendous, and the robots typically have no idea how to bid. They frequently make these wasteful, unscientific, unilateral, undisciplined, ignorant multi-level leaps to 6NT. Note that the perpetually hopeless GIBBO robot is too oblivious and too witless to even adhere to his own GIB definition of 6NT, which claims that he has "14-16 HCP" even though he has only 10.

Definitions that do not match the actual hand has been a problem for robots for a while. I always thought that it would have been an easy fix that would have increased the enjoyment of robot games, but that does not appear to be the case. Best regards. Mike

I'm surprised it didn't lead a low spade and let you make it. 7N in the North is the only grand you have any possibility of landing against GIB. There's no way GIB in the West is leading a heart from Kxx.
