North sitting with 3 card diamond support, 7(!) card club support, a void in hearts and the ace of spades really can't do more than just pass 4H? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhasbeen Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 What can you say? Sometimes it boggles the mind. I wonder when that upgrade is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I don't understand the description of 4♣ - 18+HCP;18-total points. Still, 18 points plus North's 5 HCP is only 23 points :P manudude03 - Were you surprised at the sluff-ruff at trick 2? :P GIB once made a negative double holding 8 clubs after I opened 1♣ on a 5 card suit. I barely blinked an eye when my opening lead gave the opponents a sluff-ruff at trick 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virgosrock Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Basic or advanced bot? My old PC GIB shot out 6c on this auction. what is an "old PC GIB"? the .exe file we used to use before? thanksvrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgosrock Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Points don't matter. I just wonder because the addled abysmal software did not hear a double then 3D later (18+ points) it assumed partner sitting with many hearts for all it knows.Again, probably, had a choice between 10 different bidding rules and the random number generator kicked in.it DOES NOT understand sacrifices. so it's stuck. Quite understandable. Basic Bidding Engine is broken and impossible to fix. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tu Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Gib started out as a retail program that ran standalone on Windows PCs, either via a GUI or by command prompt. The latter feature probably enticed BBO to purchase the program when they were looking for a bot to run after the original developer had halted working on the program around 2002 or so. They bought him out, took over maintenance/development, adapted it to work on their server farm. It is still available, though I don't know why anyone would buy it now (I bought my copy around 98 when it was state of the art). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Badger Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Just totally dumb. Thank goodness I no longer drive. The idea of computer-controlled, driverless cars just scares me when I see GIB. This one just looks permanently stuck on the red light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Points don't matter. If GIB was really evaluating hands, then I agree that points don't matter. The pass of 4♥ says they do matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass of 4♥ says they do matter.Give more points and it will still pass. Is strange that the original commercial program found a club bid. Have they mess up the current program?take away A♠ a human would bid 5♣ on this hand it doesn't matter much the points 6♣ and diamond side fit says bid.
