Since this was a MBC hand: were you using Basic Bot or Advanced Bot?

Generally, it's more helpful to provide the actual explanations given by GIB rather than snide commentary.

Yes, but my question is why the 2♥ call shows diamonds.

Yes, but my question is why the 2♥ call shows diamonds.

 

Double of 1NT says 4+♥.

 

So 2♥ call here is taken by GIB as GF with spades and diamonds support.

 

2♥ - -- 4+ ♦; 4+ ♠; 13+ total points; forcing to 3N

[Bbradley62]

(1) What, if anything, does the redouble show? Its description is exactly the same as the 1♠ bid, as if no additional information has been provided by the redouble.

(2) The description of 2♣ is nonsense. (a) Even with a 0 points, wouldn't you show a preference for one of partner's suits? (b) As is demonstrated by this hand, you certainly might not have 4 of that suit.
