manudude03 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Link to hand Can the gib not bid 7N here over 5NT? It knows I have AK of hearts and ace of clubs. That's 11 points out of 15-17. If I have any one of the king of spades, jack of hearts or king of clubs, then 7N has 13 top tricks. There isn't even a hand assuming I really am 15-17 where I don't have any of those cards. At worst if I've upgraded something like QJx AKxx xx Axxx or something, 7N is still well over 80%. Also, the explanation for 5N appears as "Does not" at the end without anything to qualify.

pigpenz Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 actually over 5NT see nothing wrong with 7♦ but should get to 7NTif 5NT ask for King then AKQJXXX if good enough for 7 since 5NT should show possession of all 5 keycards plus Q♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have seen human non-beginners forget to accept a grand slam try with an unshown source of tricks so it's not too unusual - but GIB shouldn't, since he has knowledge of all the possible hands you can have, 99% of which must make a grand? He is probably programmed to robotically (lol) show his number of kings and is not allowed to bid grand if he thinks it is making. If this is true, it is definitely a bug that should be fixed.
