sfi Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I always thought it stood for 'Goren in a Box', but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyedjack Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 There are quite a lot of references to both, out there in the public. You may both be right, if it changed its name part way. But I have not been able to find a link that refers to both names in the same article nor to a name change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I always thought it stood for 'Goren in a Box', but I could be wrong. Originally Ginsberg wanted to call it this, but there were trademark issues, hence the name change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1eyedjack Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 That's very sad - I quite like the name.Even though GIB's bidding system is about as closely aligned to Goren as I am to Daesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Even though GIB's bidding system is about as closely aligned to Goren as I am to Daesh. Meh - Goren wouldn't play Goren now either, so it's hardly a big stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
