Poky Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 pass pass 1♣ 1♦Dbl 1♠ ... GIB interpreted my 1♠ bid as "3+D, 11 points, 5+ relay points". Is this a bug or GIB plays transfers after doubles (XX=♥, 1♥=♠, 1♠= raise)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Is this a GIB issue? Sounds as if you used one of Todd's FD files :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Since the negative double promised both majors, I suspect GIB interprets any major bid by advancer as a cue bid showing a limit raise of overcaller. This may not be the best treatment, but it's logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfgauss Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Some playing around with this yields strange results: P 1C 1D X; 1H = "11- HCP; biddable H; 12- points"P 1C 1D X; 1S = "3+D; 11 HCP; 12 points, 5+ relay points"1C 1D X 1H = "biddable H"1C 1D X 1S = "3+D; 16+ points; forcing to 3N" just to check, it does play 1C 1D X as "Negative double -- 4+H; 4+S; 7+ points" So somehow only 1S is a cuebid on this auction, according to it. However, 1C 1D X 2H is "3+D; 1-H; 16+ points; forcing to 3N" whereas 1C 1D X 2S has no definition. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
