all are limited yet heading slamward

I could "see" 3NT not making based on bidding. Many singletons. So I checked blurb for 4H. Seemed like I was limited. And sure enough Mr. Sunshine the GUBBO headed slamward. At this point just took control so I could drop in 5H. My fault I suppose.

It is not uncommon for Gib to bid on to slam after a sign-off.

Programmers have not addressed this issue.

You can find numerous examples posted.

Even more haven't been posted.

 

Hi Steve2005 I don't know most of the time whether it is an existing issue. I can't find myself going thru all past posts to determine whether posted or not.

Ideally one would expect such posts to be addressed within a few weeks but I don't think such is the case. Hence I am stuck.

 

Sorry.

No need to be sorry. As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

Many times BBO will attribute a bug to a one-off brain fart by GIB. Repeated bug reports of the same type of problem confirm that the problem is real and repeatable, as well as showing this is a frequent problem worth fixing.

Sorry Virgo. By no means was I suggesting you not report something like this.

Just that it is a common problem.

In my opinion to fix this problem would essentially mean rewriting program.

Which would probably be a good idea :)
