TylerE Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So in the first three boards I've played with the new GIB it's managed to cuebid an ace it doesn't have (while bypassing one it does), and forced to game with an uninteresting 10 opposite a non-fitting minimum opening.

I agree, both of those auctions are terrible. I doubt they have anything to do with the latest revision, though. I suspect the old GIB would have bid them the same.

georgi Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for reporting. Both things will be fixed in next v33. First is not related with last version. It was same problem since at least 4 versions ago. Second is partly related with new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guarantees that opener's club suit is at least 4 cards long. Can GIB make that inference and realize it is reasonable to support Clubs over the opponents 2S?

The North hand is not a game force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Second is partly related with new version.This exposes for me a significant fear that I have held for some time: whether in fixing one "bug" the process introduces new bugs not previously in play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
