One of the thousands (millions? billions?) of hands showing how clueless the GIBBO monstrosities are about opening leads:

Does the piece of trash lead a club, the suit his "partner" opened? Of COURSE not. HE'S a GIBBO robot, and GIBBO robots would rather be INCINERATED than EVER lead their "partner's" suit. For once I'm in total agreement with the GIBBO slimeballs, because I too would LOVE to see them INCINERATED!

Well, since he doesn't lead a club, does he lead a DIAMOND? You know, the suit STARING HIM IN THE FACE in his OWN HAND with a sequence of J109874? Of COURSE he doesn't, because HE'S a GIBBO robot, so like he so often does, he FAR prefers his typically brainless lead of the spade 6 from his worthless 65 doubleton.

Never mind the result. It's irrelevant whether what happened on this random hand worked out well, worked out poorly, or made no difference at all. What IS relevant is to focus on the "logic" of the piece of trash...and to notice that, as USUAL, there is absolutely NO logic.

GIB/GIBBO robots are the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low. They are the absolute NADIR. They are the pits. They are worthless. They are useless. They are garbage. They should be GONE. They should be REPLACED by robots that are not so STAGGERINGLY bad.

One of the VERY few GOOD things about the execrable, antiquated GIBBO bidding system is that they play Drury...but they're too foolish to leave it at that, so they ALSO (redundantly!) play fit-showing jumps by passed hands. Admittedly, that can sometimes work out well, but it can also sometimes not.

On this hand, by bidding a passed hand two SPADES, North is pretty well forcing NS to the THREE level, which basically...defeats the whole purpose of Drury!

On this board, it didn't COST anything. but it didn't GAIN anything either/ We scored 76.19 %.

The perpetually clueless GIBBO armpit in the East proves for the Nth time that these repulsive losers have NO idea about how to bid two-suiters.

To be fair, though, they have NO idea about ANYTHING involving bridge. They flat-out stink at all aspects of the game and they should either be ground into dust, launched into outer space never to return, or blown up and then sent 20,000 leagues beneath the sea.

Three diamonds??? What a STUPID bid. What a STUPID system. What a STUPID definition (which, BTW, the piece of trash in the North does not even adhere to).

I scored 100 on the board and the the two EW imbeciles scored another of their world record zeroes, but it's STILL a STUPID system, STILL a STUPID bid, and STILL a STUPID definition. GIB/GIBBO is consistently nothing but worthless garbage.

Over South's 2NT rebid, North bids 4C Gerber. He finds out that South has two aces, and he then leaps to 6NT, ending the auction.

You might be thinking, "Wow, I'm impressed! USUALLY the hopeless, disgusting GIBBO robots would just arbitrarily, stupidly, unilaterally, unscientifically waste a full FOUR levels of bidding by DIRECTLY and BLINDLY leaping to 6NT over pard's 2NT rebid. But THIS GIBBO dweeb actually checked for aces first. Golly gee, after many years of absolutely HORRENDOUS 'bridge' and TOTAL incompetence, maybe these GIBBO sacks of slime are FINALLY improving!"

Well, ...SORRY, but if THAT'S what you're thinking. you are one hundred percent wrong. They are NOT improving. They stink as much as they always did. This ONE time that the clueless trout in the North actually decided to play it safe by first checking for aces was...THE ONE TIME HE DIDN'T NEED TO!

Why? Because the ignorant M.O.R.O.N. had FIFTEEN HCP in his OWN hand, and South's 2NT rebid had shown 18 or 19. Thus, EVEN if South had his MINIMUM, the partnership would have 33 HCP (15 plus 18 = 33, just in case any typically braindead GIBBO robots are reading this and don't understand where the 33 came from!).

So, since NS had at LEAST 33 combined HCP, it was...IMPOSSIBLE for them to be missing an ace, yet this was the ONE time that the inept droke in the North decided that he MUST check for aces before bidding 6NT.

So, NO...they are NOT "finally improving". They are as sickeningly, nauseatingly bad as ever, and they merely found a new and creative way to demonstrate just HOW braindead they are. GIB/GIBBO robots stink.

Did I step out of line by opening 1NT rather than 1H? Yes, of course I did. That's quite obvious.

WHY did I do it? Simple. As I've mentioned several times, I often (VERY often, in fact) operate, "experiment", or just plain fool around in games with THREE GIBBO robots. Why? Because I know going in that I am playing "with" and against three of the absolutely WORST "bridge players" of ALL time, three "bridge players" with considerably less intelligence than three heads of rotting lettuce. Do my operations usually work out well or poorly? Well, THIS one certainly didn't work out well, but more often than not, they DO work out well, which should be obvious, because if on balance they did NOT work out well, I would...DUH...stop doing them.

But that's just an introduction, because this post, like ALL posts in this essential thread that Diana so wisely created and titled in August of 2025, is not about me - it's about the contemptible GIBBO robots and how constantly and shamefully pathetic they are. The goal, as always, is to hope that the honchos, the powers that be, RID BBO of these embarrassing GIBBO monstrosities and replace them with COMPETENT robots. Such a move would hugely increase the pleasure of BBO competitors and paying customers, and would almost certainly result in greater respect for BBO, which, apart from the repulsively sickening GIBBO robots, is an excellent bridge site. That increased respect would be VERY beneficial to BBO in terms of attracting and retaining members and customers in this current age where numerous other bridge sites exist and vie with BBO for consumer loyalty and consumer DOLLARS.

So the purpose of THIS post is to say that despite the fact that MY opening bid was bizarre, the GIBBO robot in the North COMMITTED a tremendously stupid action by passing 1NT rather than bidding Stayman...and if anyone tries to defend the M.O.R.O.N. in the North by saying that the GIBBO SYSTEM prevented him from bidding Stayman, my reply would be that that argument does NOT defend the incompetent piece of GIBBO trash in the North, but that rather it is an INDICTMENT of the GROSSLY unworkable GIBBO bidding system - a stinking, antiquated, illogical, redundant, useless piece of garbage in and of itself.

Truly BRILLIANT "logic" by the GIBBO doofus in the North. He PASSES South's 1H overcall. He's absolutely TERRIFIED to do ANYTHING except pass. He feels his hand is MUCH too weak. He quivers in fear and PRAYS that South does not go for a HUGE number in one lowly heart. He silently CONGRATULATES himself for his BRILLIANT pass. But then...after East reopens with a double, South...PASSES, and West bids 2C. NOW North is positively THRILLED to bid TWO hearts...in DIRECT, NOT PASSOUT position. He AGAIN congratulates himself for his BRILLIANCE, perhaps not cognizant of the fact that his two self-congratulatory moments of praise were for DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED actions.

East competes with 3C, South PASSES...AGAIN...as does West, and now our glorious and OH-so-BRAVE hero in the North...bids THREE hearts...red against white. SHOCKINGLY, the bidding "strategy" he employed on this hand was NOT a success. Who would EVER have guessed?

Declarer South wins the opening spade lead in his hand. At trick two, he leads the 5 of clubs to dummy North's 10. East wins his queen and...of COURSE...pays another...CLUB (chuckle), the 9. South plays the king and West wins his ace. Then, at trick four, WEST returns...another...CLUB, his LAST club, the 3. East plays HIS last club, the 7. Declarer South, a VERY polite individual who does NOT want to offend East or West, suppresses the HUGE waves of laughter that he feels, WINS his club 8, and cashes two MORE clubs.

Hey, have I ever mentioned that the GIBBO robots are the worst "defenders" I have EVER seen - FAR worse than even the WORST human I have EVER encountered in my ENTIRE life?

I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see that we scored an astounding 85.7 % (!) on this board for our score of MINUS 180 (!) when East-West made 2C doubled!

I was, however, not at ALL surprised that the GIBBP trashcan in the North had made a typically imbecilic call. Do these repulsive bozos EVER do anything that is NOT imbecilic?

If the clown wants to open his mouth a second time, why would he not bid a SANE 2D instead of making his RIDICULOUS double?

Look at West's hand. Note that against South's 1NT he opts to lead a SPADE rather than a heart.

Further proof that these GIBBO oafs know NOTHING about bidding two-suiters. NOTHING.

Another example showing that cotton candy has greater intelligence than a stinking GIBBO robot:

The M.O.R.O.N. in the West, having shown spades and an unknown minor during the auction, figures that he'll mount a "sneak attack" by leading his "unknown" minor (clubs) rather than his known spade suit, which NS are presumably prepared for.

This strategy CAN sometimes be effective, but - TYPICALLY - the ignorant GIBBO blob pulls it out at exactly the WRONG time, because he is such a hopeless, clueless, incompetent jerk - like ALL GIB/GIBBO robots are.

First, his club suit MIGHT have originally been unknown, but it is NO LONGER UNKNOWN after North bids 3D! Second, the presumed spade stopper that NS have is the king, because West is STARING AT the AQJ in his OWN hand. Well, who HAS that king? Since NORTH'S 3NT call states that it shows a "stop in spades" (!), I kind of think that...DUH...NORTH has it! Therefore, leading a spade will NOT surrender an otherwise unobtainable spade trick, as it might if SOUTH had the king. Consequently, since West has a SIDE entry with the club ace, it seems EXTREMELY obvious for him to lead the ace of spades and then, after seeing the North dummy, to continue with the spade queen, thereby knocking out the king and establishing his suit while he still has his side entry.

But don't EVER expect even a tiny SPECK of wisdom from piece of trash GIBBO robot!

I lead the ace of spades at trick one. My "partner" North, a GIBBO robot, has the 653. He plays the...FIVE!

These useless slimeballs can't even do the simplest, most BASIC things right. I strongly suspect that WELL over fifty percent of raw beginners would have played the three. And I'm pretty sure that CHIMPANZEES would play the three one third of the time.

If BBO doesn't want to replace the GIBBO trashcans with decent robots, maybe they should at least consider replacing them with raw beginners or with chimpanzees.

Ridiculous bidding sequence by the GIBBO nitwit in the North. Pathetic joke of a "defence" by the two braindead GIBBO twits sitting East-West. In other words, EXACTLY what you would expect from the international laughingstock known as GIBBO.

Where the HELL is North's (typical, and typically stupid) 6NT (!) call coming from? The ignorant piece of GIBBO trash isn't even CLOSE to having what his own GIB definition "promises" - "13-15 HCP". The sickening sap has a mere TEN. Seriously, has ANYONE ever seen a bridge player ANYWHERE who is as CONSISTENTLY and overwhelmingly rotten as these hopeless GIBBO dirtbags?

It's INCREDIBLE that some naive, oblivious souls actually opine that the horrendous GIBBO robots are "better than most human players". Here\s an example of how "well" the GIBBO trashcans "defend":

West is on lead against South's 3NT, He has J6, AJ975, 1073, K73, so of COURSE he leads a SPADE...the suit LEAST likely to set up tricks for HIS side and MOST likely to blow an entire suit. Of course he would never DREAM of leading a HEART. Oh no, HEAVEN forbid! That would be almsost as bad as EVER leading his "partner's" suit.

East COULD win the spade lead and shift, but he says "Why bother?" and ducks, allowing South to win his queen. South then rattles off four top diamond tricks, ending in dummy. He then leads the club jack. West wins his offside king and then - PURELY because he's a nauseatingly stupid GIBBO piece of trash, immediately returns a...CLUB...surprising exactly NO ONE in the known UNIVERSE, because these abject I.D.I.O.T.S....LOVE to return the suit DECLARER plays.

Declarer ends up making an OVERTRICK in a contract that I suspect would have gone down a COUPLE of tricks against almost every pair of NOVICES in the world!

"Better than most human players"? These international EMBARRASSMENTS are not even "better" than a box of soggy toothpicks left out in the rain!

Instead of inviting, which would perfectly describe his hand, the GIBBO jackass in the North stupidly and unilaterally leaps to game. It happens to make, but he has gained NOTHING, because South's hand was good enough that he would have accepted a (CORRECT!) invitation anyway. But if South's hand had NOT been that good, game would NOT have made, but they WOULD have avoided it if North merely INVITED as he should have. However, since this piece of GIBBO garbage in the North is too glaringly stupid to correctly invite, they would have had a minus score for NO reason.

As usual, the GIBBO imbecile made a bid that could NEVER gain, would often LOSE, and would at BEST break even.

GIB/GIBBO stinks. Worst of the worst, lowest of the low. Nothing but the most reprehensible type of garbage...hand after hand after hand.
