3♥ a puzzling bidding,I think almost of us often encountered it.And who know why Gib do so?

Thanks for reporting.

 

It's fixed in next version.

 

Problem was GIB had a flaw in Final Destination logic we started using since two versions ago.

 

 

So here Final Destination ( the call we passed or we show willing to play on it limit us to no more than 5 more steps calls, or in other words if 2♦ is passed by us, we could go no higher than 3♦) should stop GIB by proceeding.

 

So here partner ( GIB ) used his normal call to go up to our limitation. Now the "hole" allowed to GIB to re-raise additionally.

 

In next version no matter who raises up to our limit in next round(s), we would be still under control of Final Destination.

 

So neither East or West will get the chance to raise over partner's 3♦ even if auction was:

 

I.e.

 

1♥-2♦-P-Pass

X/2♥ - 3♦ - P - forced pass

 

1♥-2♦-P-Pass

X/2♥- P - P - 3♦

P - forced pass

 

Once human voluntarely breaks the level and go up, GIB will proceed according to current sequence, pass is no longer an obligation.
