A_User: Regarding my "stamina": After Diana had the inspiration to create this separate thread from some posts that had appeared in another one, I felt that the least I could do in recognition of her great idea would be to post frequently here... so while I appreciate your generous compliment, I must praise Diana for being the person who really deserves the credit. As for my "stamina", it is really not difficult to come up with new comments, since the antics of the GIB robots provide an INFINITE source of material.

Nobody vulnerable. South deals and opens 1D. West doubles. North bids 2C. East bids 2D.
South passes. West bids 2H. North passes. East bids 3C.
South doubles, which GIB STUPIDLY defines as "one club, 3+ diamonds, 14-21 HCP, 22- total points, likely stop in clubs".
"
First, WHY would this show PRECISELY ONE club? Second, if it IS precisely ONE club, then how "likely" is it that South has a "likely stop in clubs"? Anyway, the auction continues:
West and North pass. East jumps to 4S.
South and West pass. North doubles, defined as "2- diamonds, 2+ spades, 8+ HCP, rebiddable clubs, 9- total points".
North's hand: VOID, J8, J9762, A109764, so - ignoring anything ELSE about the hand, his double showed at MOST two diamonds...when he had FIVE and showed at LEAST two spades...when he had NONE...and as a minor addition to the foregoing insanity, his double also showed at LEAST 8 HCP...when he had 6.
Just a NORMAL set of circumstances with the typically ridiculous GIB definitions in the BIZARRE universe of GIB.

If you expect to see rampant stupidity from GIB robots, you will seldom be disappointed. Here's but one example:
Nobody vul. West, North, and East are all GIB robots.
North passes. East opens 1H. South bids 1S. West doubles.
North passes. East bids 2H. South bids 2S. West passes.
North passes, and...East...JUMPS (!) to FOUR hearts.
We now already know that WHATEVER East has he is an idiot, as he CANNOT have a hand where BOTH his 2H call AND his later 4H call are correct.
He had 73, K10987542, A, QJ. His 4H call was defined as "15+ HCP, strong rebiddable hearts, 15- total points", so, as is so often the case, the definition was also ridiculous (not to mention that his hand did not match the definition).
