johnu Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The author clearly doesn't understand how GIB is programmed, or in this case, not programmed. Every robot led back the club four for a diamond shift!Obviously GIB does not play suit preference signals as evidenced by the club spot card that was played. This is a basically a random card played by GIB. In a tournament, the same random seed is used to start the hand, so you might expect the same behavior by all the GIBs in the tournament in similar situations. So it's not an error by GIB in making an incorrect suit preference signal, but a deficiency in GIB programming that suit preference signals were never programmed into the code.
