In this sequence GIB bid 5

 

Poll

 

 

As you can see from my comment in the poll:

 

 

The interesting problem is that 4th suit forcing can either be

A: A hand with 5s - but wouldn't that hand just bid 4 now?

B: A doubt showing 3N, then 4 would problably be our bid

C: A hand to strong for 3N directly after 2. Then we just want to play 3N.

 

What are the rules GIB is following?

According to the definition, 3NT shows 14-21 points. But in reality it would bid 3NT earlier with up to around 16. So I would it to have at least 17 in this auction.

 

Whether North knows that or not when simulating, I don't know. Why it bids 5 instead of 4 of a minor (which my GIB seems to prefer, and it seems to think slam is making quite a lot), I don't know.
