rwbarton Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 We all know that when GIB thinks we have a fit in one suit it is loath to let us play in another suit, even correcting to the 7-level over a 6-level signoff attempt. What I don't understand is why this sometimes doesn't happen. Here is an example hand: [hv=d=n&v=n&n=sa75ha98dk8742cq8&s=skq942h7daqj63ca6]133|200|Scoring: MP[/hv] At my table the auction was1♦ - 1♠1NT - 2♣2♠ - 4NT5♥ - 5NT6♦ - 7♦P At another table the auction was the same until South bid 6NT instead of 7♦, and GIB carried on to 7♠. What I want to know is: why did GIB bid 7♠ over 6NT but not over 7♦? Does anyone have enough experience to predict when GIB will do this kind of thing?

arigreen Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I wish I could tell that you there was a good reason behind GIB's decision to pull 6N to 7♠. However, this action was caused by a random rule that accidentally fired. I eliminated the bad rule, so starting with the next release GIB will usually pass 6N in auctions such as this.

rwbarton Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Oh, excellent. In the future, I will experiment more with trying to sign off in non-agreed suits or NT in slam auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
