barmar Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I believe GIB expects superaccpts of Jacoby transfers to include a side doubleton. You bid the doubleton, unless it's the transfer suit, in which case you jump to 3 of responder's major. I haven't checked to see what it thinks bidding 2NT over the transfer shows (maybe that's the superaccept without a doubleton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 This document says that in competitive auctions, GIB plays:Negative X. Responsive X. Support X (GIB may do support X with Kx). Through what level(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 If you use the web client, when you're viewing a hand you can click on Options and select "Send Robot Report". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 BBO Today includes an article titled "New Bridge Robots Released". The article says "this new version features a comprehensive redesign of GIB's Roman Keycard Blackwood rules". Does this mean that bids now mean different things than they previously did, or that GIB now uses different internal standards to determine whether to use or continue with RKCB?

barmar Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 They haven't posted a new convention card, have they? So I think it just means the logic, not the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigpenz Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 has anyone ever done a full disclosure card for GIB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Laurvick Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 has anyone ever done a full disclosure card for GIB? I've just discovered Robot Bridge, seems like an interesting idea, tried a couple of games, AND . . . I cannot figure out what kind of system it's playing. Yesterday my robot partner was playing 2/1 with forcing NT (that's what it said in the little box when it bid 1 NT), tonight I got one that had no system, no judgment and lied about its HCP. Is there such a thing as a novice robot? Anyway . . . the description says "ACBL GCC applies." I suppose that's referring to an ACBL convention card, but what does the "G" stand for? I really need to figure out what's going on or I'm not going to throw away any more money and time. As I said before, it does seem like an interesting idea, but not if it has me pounding the desk in frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll skip the robot bridge unless someday I have the option to skip conventions I detest. Good luck to you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 http://www.bridgebas...ystem_notes.php I think that this linked document should be updated to include a definition of "relay points" where it discusses HCP and total points. For those unfamiliar, relay points are A = 3, K=2, Q=1, supposedly used to improve accuracy of judgement in slam bidding but used by GIB in explanations of bids in a load of situations where no slam is on the horizon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think that this linked document should be updated to include a definition of "relay points" where it discusses HCP and total points.It's currently in the linked document where it says: Click here for help understanding these explanations.

barmar Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I suspect this may be related to the problem mentioned in other threads, where GIB is giving totally incorrect explanations that seem to be based on different auctions. We're still investigating this. What version of BBO are you using when this happens? Windows download app or the web version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barmar Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 As I mentioned in another thread, it looks like the problem is that your connection to our servers is too slow. The client doesn't allow very long to get the response to the request for an explanation. We're investigating solutions to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The client doesn't allow very long to get the response to the request for an explanation. We're investigating solutions to this. Yes,my connection have been so bad and unstable recently (same are too many chinese players actually),sometimes faster,sometimes very slow.Based on my observations,I think it seems likely that the reason is unstable network.For example: [hv=http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?sn=lycier&s=SKQ53HK765DK64CAK&wn=GIB W&w=SA9742HDJ9532CQJT&nn=GIB N&n=SHT98432DQTC98632&en=GIB E&e=SJT86HAQJDA87C754&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=1C(Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203+%20%21C%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%2012-22%20total%20points)1N(One%20notrump%20overcall%20--%202-5%20%21C%3B%202-5%20%21D%3B)P2D!(Jacoby%20transfer%20--%205+%20%21H)P4HPPP&p=CQC2C4CKS3S2H2S8H3HAH5D2DAD4D5DTD8D6D3DQC3C5CACTDKDJC6D7SKS9H4S6C8C7H6CJS5S4H8STC9SJH7S7HKD9H9HJSQSAHTHQ]499|350[/hv] While I need log time to get response,I never have seen any bid without explanations.For this hand,when Gib N bid 2♦ quickly,I also click 4♥ rapidly,however no explanations even though fast connection.so connection instability may be a main reason.
