Another one of his BELOVED doubleton leads by the GIBBO sap in the West. Then when he wins his spade king, LOOKING at the K7 dub of clubs in dummy and LOOKING at the QJ of clubs in his own hand, the twit plays another diamond.

Yeah right, Mr. West: WHATEVER you do, don't EVER lead your queen of clubs. It would be WAY too "dangerous" for you, I suppose.

No WONDER these rejects keep "earning" themselves bad scores.

Fairly flat, unexceptional board. We scored 53.6 % for bidding 2NT and making an overtrick.

So why am I even bothering to post it if it's "fairly flat" and "unexceptional"?

One simple reason: To show that on almost all hands - even including the boring, mundane, unexceptional ones - the GIBBO robots find a way to do SOMETHING wrong, something that often goes unnoticed in a boring, unextraordinary hand. Here, for example, note that the clueless and characteristically dimwitted GIBBO robot in the West cannot even return the correct heart at trick two. The imbecile, after winning trick one with his heart king, correctly plays a second heart at trick two. Given his extremely limited "intelligence", I'm even surprised he got that right! But the M.O.R.O.N. had only two hearts to choose from (the 8 and the 6) and because he's a GIBBO robot (one of the absolutely worst "bridge players" of ALL time), he couldn't even manage to return the correct one. The doofus played back the 6 instead of the 8.

I'll use a line I've used before: A blind chimpanzee would have had a fifty percent chance of returning the 8, but this pathetic GIBBO robot, a supposed "intelligent bridgeplayer" (sic!) couldn't do it even LOOKING at his cards. The GIBBO robots are truly abysmal at all facets of the game.

South opens 1D and later doubles East's 3D, showing, as per the GIB definition, "rebiddable diamonds"; KQ of diamonds", meaning the equivalent of KQ or better in terms of diamond quality. North ends up on lead against West's 4S. North has Q743, 97, J42, KQ74. Does he lead - maybe - a DIAMOND? HELL, NO! Why would he EVER lead a DIAMOND - a suit where he KNOWS his partner has good diamonds, a suit where he is LOOKING at the jack in his own hand, and on a hand where he has FOUR trumps to the queen? Why would he EVER lead a DIAMOND, considering that he belongs to that foul, disgusting, useless species known as GIBBO robots - you know, the imbeciles who HATE to lead their partner's suit?

Well, yeah, it does look unfathomably stupid not to lead a diamond, but hey, at least he has a not-SO-bad lead of the club king. At least he led THAT, right?

Wrong: The piece of dirt led the 9 of hearts from his worthless 97 doubleton.

Oh, why did he make such a REMARKABLY stupid lead? Answer: Precisely because he is a GIBBO robot, the lowest of the low, the SLIME of the bridge world.

Totally disgusted, I decided to further test the limits of the droke's stupidity, so later in the hand, QUITE willing to self-sacrifice (as I no longer CARED about this board), I played the QUEEN of hearts from my remaning QJ as a scientific experiment to see if he would FURTHER demonstrate his world-class ineptitude by ruffing the third heart. As I expected, he did, thereby confirming my already SOLID belief that the GIBBO robots are nothing but total garbage that should long ago have been buried in a gravel pit and replaced by robots with at least a TINY bit of ability.

Although the board was a near-bottom (not exactly a shock!), the experiment was a huge success. I have long felt nothing but contempt for the GIB and GIBBO robots, and I felt that my opinion of them could not possibly sink lower. However, this hand and this successful experiment proved me wrong, because against all odds, it DID sink lower. I thought it was already at the bottom, but it got even worse. My vocabulary is not strong enough to fully describe the revulsion I feel towards these useless pieces of trash. When, when. WHEN will they be thrown out and replaced? When will BBO users and customers be granted the privilege of playing with and against DECENT robots? If and when that ever occurs, I am confident that it will also be to BBO's benefit, as it should certainly cause existing customers to stay and new ones to join.

BTW, on this SAME hand, look at the stunningly stupid GIB definition of West's redouble: "5+ spades; 17- HCP; 13-19 total points; forcing to 3S". In the context of this particular auction so far, this typically pitiful GIB definition says NOTHING useful. West's hand is KJ986, K106, 753, A6. He has ALREADY overcalled South's 1D opening with 1S red against white with his mere (in context) eleven HCP, with a hand as flat as it could possibly be (given his 1S overcall) of 5-3-3-2, including three little DIAMONDS, so what on EARTH is his "LOGIC" for REDOUBLING (!!!) 3D (an action obviously recommended and encouraged by the pathetic GIB definition and the hopeless, antiquated, piece of garbage that is the GIBBO system)?

Please throw out the GIB definitions, throw out the GIBBO system, and throw out the GIBBO robots.

Yet ANOTHER totally witless lead by a typically hopeless GIBBO robot. This time it's West. This foul trout thinks it's a BRILLIANT idea to lead his queen of CLUBS from Q7 doubleton despite KNOWING that it's North's second suit. Spoiler alert: It was actually NOT a good lead. Who could EVER have guessed?

Here's a quick summary of what you can expect when you play in a game with and/or against GIBBO robots:

An antiquated, ineffective, extremely poor bidding system
Absolutely wretched definitions that are often poorly explained, incomplete, or just plain wrong
Robots who frequently ignore their own (pathetic) definitions
Robots who rank with the worst opening leaders of all time
Robots who are really, really poor defenders
Robots who either don't signal or ignore signals
Robots who totally illogically seem to HATE leading partner's suit but who seem to LOVE leading or continuing enemy suits
Robots who frequently play the wrong spot cards
Robots who stupidly seem to treat all spot cards interchangeably
Robots who are atrocious bidders
Robots who pull doubles when they should pass and who pass doubles when they should pull
Robots who will HELP you when they are your opponent but HURT you when they are your "partner"
Robots who are better at declaring than at anything else, but who are not even particularly good at declaring
Robots who are worse than even the worst human player I have ever encountered in my life
Robots who should be discarded forever and replaced with robots that actually have an inkling about how to play bridge
Robots who are likely to disgust you several times during a single game

We scored 75 % on this board for going down "only" one in 1NT.

Why did the *****ous GIBBO robot in the East switch after two rounds of spades?

Why have the GIBBO robots not all been tossed into a garbage heap and replaced by decent robots?

100 % on this board for NS. Or, putting it another way: Yet ANOTHER total zero to add to the huge lifetime collection of zeroes for the worst bridge players that I have ever encountered: the horrendous GIB/GIBBO robots, those masters of abject failure and incompetence.

Note the overwhelmingly stupid lead of a spade...from J64...INTO a declarer who has promised four or five spades.

This board was played 129 times, and only one pair had a higher score than our plus 130 for playing 3C and making an overtrick. That pair scored plus 200 for beating West two tricks in 2D. Thus, I'm not complaining about the score. I like to occasionally make that statement to shut down anyone who is dim enough to think that this thread is about crying about bad results or boasting about good ones. It is neither. The one and only purpose of the thread is to expose the countless faults of the GIBBO robots, system, and definitions...in the HOPE that the powers that be will DO SOMETHING to either HUGELY improve the current robots or replace them with DECENT ones. That would be a big benefit for both BBO and its users and customers.

So why AM I posting this particular hand? Simple: To BLAST North's bidding.

Although his foolish 3C call did not cost on this hand, it could easily cost on many other random hands. Why the HELL did he feel it was necessary to JUMP to THREE clubs? This is something these guppies often do, and it often does cost them when they get too high for no reason.

As a minor side issue, look at the typically annoying and offensive first three words of the GIB definition: "Jump new suit". Guess what, Mr. GIB? It is REALLY not necessary to tell BBO users that when North LEAPS top 3C it is a "jump" and it is also REALLY not necessary to tell them that clubs, which have NEVER yet been bid on this hand, are a "new suit". Instead of putting useless trash such as this into its pathetic definitions, maybe GIB should ensure that they all provide useful information that NEEDS to be stated, which far too often they do not!

NS can always make 12 tricks in spades, so West's lead HAPPENED not to cost - but it was STILL a typically stupid GIBBO lead: 3 of diamonds from his worthless 32 doubleton, after NORTH opened 1D.

[benellis58]

The GIB definition of 4D says NOTHING useful. Why do they even BOTHER writing a definition that is such useless garbage? Shouldn't bidding 4D here mean SOMETHING? Not only are the GIB/GIBBO robots the worst "bridge players" I have EVER encountered, but the GIB definitions are the worst "explanations" I have ever come across.

And look at West's MAGNIFICENTLY stupid lead. His choice of a diamond would be foolish at any time, but it's especially imbecilic after South's 4D call. Hand after hand after hand, we see time and time again how absolutely horrendous these disgusting, laughable GIBBO robots are.

[benellis58]

You can almost predict your results in advance when you play at a table with three GIBBO robots:

If you defend, there's a good chance you'll get a bad score, because your robot "partner" is very likely to misdefend in many of the ways he has proven to be SO adept at. Yes, the opponent declaring the hand is also capable of misplaying, but he is much less likely to, because even though their declarer play is not even close to excellent, it IS far, FAR better than their laughably inept "defence".

If you defend and your robot "partner" is on lead (perish the thought!), you are even MORE likely to do poorly, because there is an EXCELLENT chance that he will make a truly horrendous lead.

If you declare, there's a huge likelihood that you will do well (assuming the jerk sitting across from you did not totally botch the auction). This is for two reasons: First, you have two GIBBO robots "defending" against you, and you know going in that they both ROT as "defenders" and that BOTH are quite capable of singlehandedly blowing the "defence". Second, your braindead "partner" is doing what he is BEST at: sitting there as DUMMY, with absolutely NO impact on the play of the hand.

[benellis58]

The clueless trout in the East makes one of his beloved leads - in other words, a completely stupid one. The worthless rube leads his 8 of clubs from his coincidentally also worthless 85 doubleton = even though he has FOUR trumps (spades) to the KING...and even though South OPENED one club. Of course, the fool would never DREAM of leading a DIAMOND, because his "partner" bid diamonds and these cockroaches HATE leading a suit their "partner" bids.

I've said it before: GIBBO robots must eat several bowls of stupidity pills for breakfast each and every day.

Why wouldn't East double 3C to help his "partner" with the lead?

Oh, I think I know the answer: His "partner" is a GIBBO robot, so if East doubled to suggest a club lead, West would NEWVER lead clubs.

Yes, I'm making a joke, but you know what? Many a TRUTH is said in jest.

GIBBO robots rot.

Typically stupid and unilateral leap to 6NT by the piece of trash sitting in the North chair. The ignorant fool has 11 HCP. His partner is known to have at most 21 and could have "only" 20. Could 6NT sometimes make, looking only at North's hand? Yes, of course it could - but that does not justify his ridiculous, unilateral, COMPLETELY unscientific leap to it. He belongs in a garbage can or preferably a landfill 20,000 leagues under the sea - along with EVERY other GIBBO robot.

https://tinyurl.brid...se.com/2p82uysh

This time the piece of trash in the North seat does something even worse. He makes the questionable decision to pass his partner's 1C opening, but then later he balances...red versus white...with TWO hearts on the exact same hand with which he was TERRIFIED to respond ONE heart to his partner's opening bid.

Then when South RUNS - OBVIOUSLY runs - to 3C, the piece of trash REBIDS his hearts. Could I have done better in the auction or the play? I'm guessing that I certainly could have - in both - but I have no interest in checking to see, because just looking at North will make me throw up, as it often does when I look at a GIBBO robot. (Please note: That's a figurative statement, not a literal one. I have total contempt for them, but that's as far as it goes.)

BTW, as is so often the case, the useless piece of trash doesn't even respect his own GIB definition of 3H. Not a surprise.

This time the biggest piece of trash is in the West seat. At trick four, the unimaginably stupid clown leads a CLUB, the same suit that DECLARER played earlier. Of course, his "partner" wouldn't DREAM of encouraging in diamonds, because - being a GIBBO robot also, it goes without saying that he too is a piece of trash...like they ALL are.
