East's first double is fine. His second is needless, foolish, and does not respect his own GIB definition.

West's 3S bid is PROOF that he is a certifiable M.O.R.O.N.

These two GIBBO jackasses get the score they deserve (a cold ZERO), which, BTW, is the score they would get on EVERY hand, if every hand was scored according to merit.

A competent bridge PLAYER would bid 4S over South's 3S, but North is NOT competent, and he is NOT a bridge PLAYER - he is a repulsive GIBBO "bridge (???) player". so HE bids 3NT. Fortunately, EW are also GIBBO "bridge players", so the "defence" ROTS and all is well as we get a shared top.

Ridiculous 3S bid by East. If he wants to bid TWO spades (having ALREADY doubled 1NT) that's fine, but to bid THREE is PROOF that he's a GIBBO robot (in other words, a hopeless LOSER!).

West's raise (!) to FOUR (!) spades is even more ridiculous.

Why is this GIBBO garbage still polluting BBO? Why hasn't it been obliterated and replaced by COMPETENT robots?

Trick three: Why does the GIBBO piece of trash in the North pop his spade jack from J72? Has he been STUDYING hands played by his immediate predecessors, the disgustingly inept GIB robots? Has he decided to REVIVE their imbecilic practice of second hand HIGH? Is he trying to "defend" even MORE hopelessly than he already does? I think it's time to buy him and ALL his GIBBO brothers and sisters a one-way ticket to the bottom of the sea. They'd be far more valuable as fish food than as the absolutely worthless "bridge players" they are.

North wins his heart queen at trick four. At trick five, he...of COURSE...plays another HEART, because he's a GIBBO robot, and these braindead pieces of garbage ALWAYS think that it's a BRILLIANT idea to immediately return the suit DECLARER was playing.

This time it's even more comical than usual, because North's remaining three hearts are the A86... and he returns the 6.

Is there EVER...ANY logic to ANY play made by these GIBBO halfwits?

Exactly the type of "defence" that you would expect from a pair of GIBBO losers: a pathetic one that EARNS them another complete zero to store in one of their countless warehouses of failure.

Frequent contributor OMARHEUM has sent another hand. He writes "I scored 77 % on this hand. 52 North-South pairs played 4H down two or three, but hearts were never bid at our table. My partner showed SIX spades with his 2S bid but appears to only possess 5. And look at my partner's opening lead!"

My comments: North is an I.D.I.O.T., but then again, we ALREADY knew that going in, because he's one of those thoroughly disgusting GIBBO robots, and they are all I.D.I.O.T.S. His 2S bid is absolutely ridiculous, and not only because of the LIE he is telling about having at LEAST a sixth spade. In addition to THAT piece of stupidity, he has ALREADY overcalled 1S...and he has NOTHING extra...PLUS he knows that his partner South has at MOST two spades and COULD have none!

Meanwhile, WEST opened 1D on a TEN-count, even though the typically incorrect AND DISHONEST GIB definition FALSELY claimed that his (foolish) bid showed "11-21 HCP". But hey, the pathetic GIB definition might be lousy, and it might be (and actually IS dishonest), but at least it informs us that 1D is a "Minor-suit opening" (ha, ha). Then again, maybe those needless, useless, obvious, self-evident, annoying, insulting three words are actually NOT a good thing either! Is there anyone in the UNIVERSE who thinks that GIB definitions are even CLOSE to being good?

As for North's lead of the club king: Regardless of whether it works out well or poorly on this or any other random layout on a random hand, where the Hell is the LOGIC for it? Answer: As the GIBBO Robots might say: "Logic? Like, uh, golly gee, like, what's 'logic'? Like, I, uh, like, never even HEARD that word before. Like, I, uh, like, was like, busy, like attending my, like, you know, bridge classes, like, at, uh, GIBBO Bridge School, like, you know, so that I could become like, uh, a gooder bridge player, like, uh, you know what I mean, like?""

OMARHEUM has sent another hand. This one is a classic of "brilliant" GIBBO bidding. OMAR writes "50.57 % for playing in a slam off three aces".

My comments:

The first and most important thing to note is that this is a MANDATED AUCTION, so GIBBO obviously recommends every single bid and equally obviously believes that the auction is PERFECT.

Spoiler alert (ha, ha): It is NOT perfect. It is perfectly AWFUL (like SO many GIBBO auctions!).

In addition to bidding the slam despite missing three CASHABLE aces, note this bit of humour: North's bids of 2NT, 4S, 5C, and 6S...ALL (!) "promise" a "partial stop in hearts". GIBBO North is putting a LOT of faith in his...STIFF TEN!

North's voluntary 2NT call is, of course, utterly ridiculous, but hey, let's give credit where it's due: At least the GIB definition informs us that this JOKE of a bid is "Invitational to 3NT game", because I guess if GIB did not inform us that 3NT is "game", none of us would EVER realize it. What DISGUSTING absurdity!

That SAME asinine GIB definition of 2NT, BTW, states that North has "11 HCP". meaning EXACTLY 11. First, he actually has only 10. Second, South later incorrectly assumes from North's 5C response to Blackwood that North has all three missing aces. Obviously, GIBBO is not very good with elementary arithmetic, because if North did have three aces, those aces alone would add up to TWELVE HCP, and even if he had NO other points in his hand (which would be HIGHLY unlikely), those 12 points all by themselves would push North BEYOND the EXACTLY ELEVEN that his 2NT call had "promised"

The GIBBO North-South auction is obviously pure, unadulterated garbage, but the GIBBO East-West auction is no thing of beauty either. West, with THREE...CASHABLE...ACES (which, on this BLACKWOOD auction, are KNOWN to be cashable!) PASSES (!) 6S! Has he never heard the word "double"? Or maybe he fears that if he doubles, MS will run to 6NT and he'll be unable to take ANY of his THREE ACES? What a JOKE these C.R.E.T.I.N.O.U.S. GIBBO baboons are! And what a SHAME that they continue to pollute BBO.

My personal opinion: GIBBO is some of the worst garbage that the world of bridge has ever been cursed with.
