broze Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I check GIB's description for bids 90% of the time but I didn't even think of checking this time. There is no way this 3NT bid should be anything but natural. https://tinyurl.com/yfg8vlsj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnu Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Good bidding by GIB. If 2NT is the unusual NT, then 3NT must be the very unusual NT. Good original job by the programmers who have long since stopped working on the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
