Free robot duplicate( MP )

GIB was declarer at all tables and made always 7H, 6H+1 and 6NT+1, but two times 7NT-1

I think a better play would be to take either black suit from top and then take the remaining finesse or play for squeeze in black suits.

Love how GIB blocks the heart suit as well. -.-v

 

No reason to not test clubs if you're gonna take the spade finesse... and also who would lead small from Q against 7NT...

Yeah, GIB seems to lead from suits it doesn't have anything big in, so as soon as there was the spade lead I'd just assume the other side has the Q. This was definitely not the best play when another heart could have been played and it could see what the opps drop, and try to use that information to help decide the best finesse. Or it could just assume that since east led a spade the Q must be offsides, meaning the club finesse must be the best chance. Clubs are also it's longer suit so it's more likely to force the Q on it before it even has to finesse, which it should at least have checked before it went for the spade finesse.
