The 2♦ bid is strange - why not pass when opps double for penalty and you have 4-card support? Presumably it was meant as a good spade raise.

I agree, however, that 2♦ should have a much better explanation, probably as a good spade raise as Helene suggests.
Also, North's double should have a better explanation. This is another one of those instances where a call has exactly the same explanation as the previous call, but it should be showing something: better diamonds, more strength, than the original 1♦ bid. If this is one of those things where it shows either more diamonds or more points, and therefore can't specifically say that it shows more of either, it should say "penalty double".

As I earlier said,whatever I do,GIB's explanation is always wrong since that bid is a limited raise to pd's suit.
now the same story happened again.
Now you see,maybe my double was wrong,GIB's error is so very serious, unreliable.

No, the only error was on your part. You again have a very easy PASS after 1♠. You overstated your hand by 5+ points. GIB still does not play support doubles over 1♣-1♦.

This is a same problem,after DBL,why GIB West pass? Anti-interference ability is poor.

Probably 3NT would been better than pass but it is difficult. Playing a non-GIB system against GIB can work wonders ....

You call them non-systemic, I call them psychics, others aren't so charitable. Of course it would be nice if GIB could sniff out a psycher, but who, partner or opponent? Since GIB doesn't intentionally psyche, I guess you would assume the non-GIB player doesn't have their bid. But programming resources are limited and as you know, there are probably hundreds of areas where GIB bidding needs improvement, so I would put figuring out a psyche pretty close to the bottom, if not at the very bottom, of any list of projects.
