I believe the GIBBO robots play Smolen...so why don't they play it in this situation? Oh yeah, right: silly question. They obviously don't play it in this situation, because to do so would...MAKE SENSE!

I have received a hand from a fellow BBO member who plays in robot games. The member is someone James Bond fans might know. His name is eel007007.

According to Eel, this hand was from a "Challenge a Robot" game, which is perhaps why all four positions are identified as "Robot". For SURE South was a robot, as you will immediately know when you examine the play!

Eel wrote "Check out trick one!"

Yes, the play to trick one HAD to have been made by a robot!

Some typically pathetic GIB definitions:

1C: "Minor suit opening...". Hey, GIB, unlike GIBBO robots, most BBO users are not total C.R.E.T.I.N.S., so they already KNOW that 1C is a "minor suit opening" and do NOT have to be CONSTANTLY told. Furthermore, even if they did NOT know, how would this "new" bit of knowledge be of ANY use WHATSOEVER in actually explaining what the bid SHOWS?

1H: "One-level overcall...". Gee, thanks SO much, GIB! I bet no one would EVER have figured that out if you hadn't mentioned it!

Double: "1- club...". WHY, pray tell? Why the HELL must West have at most one club? And, for the record, note that he actually has TWO clubs, so he's ignoring his own GIB definition! Maybe I shouldn't blame him for that, though, because you might as well ignore the GIB definitions, since they are so often nothing but garbage.

Great double of 2D, by the way - it only made ONE overtrick.

Please either incinerate the GIBBO robots and GIB definitions or bury them in a landfill. They are useless and worthless.

Trick 8: East wins his club king. Trick 9: The fleabrained GIBBO piece of trash returns a ...CLUB (!), allowing declarer to claim. GIBBO robots are worse than even the WORST human player I have ever encountered in my life. GIBBO robots stink.

Does North lead a heart, the suit that he bid, and the suit where he has the KQ? No. Does he lead a spade, the suit that his partner bid, and a suit where he himself has four cards? No. He's a GIBBO robot, so he leads a club from his worthless 97 doubleton.

I blame myself for not beating the contract, though., because I broke my own cardinal rule, which is "Always play all GIBBO robots to be complete and total I.D.I.O.T.S." Here, I foolishly thought that the M.O.R.O.N. might actually have a REASON for leading the club 9. Mea culpa!

One of the many reasons that the execrable GIBBO robots are among the worst "bridge players" of all time is that they are among the worst leaders of all time. The ONLY "bridge players" who were worse at opening leads were GIBBO's immediate predecessors, the hopeless, disgusting GIB robots.

On this hand, the GIBBO dimwit in the East thinks, for some unfathomable reason, that a spade will work out better than a heart. Then, having made his feebleminded decision to lead a spade, he is SO unutterably stupid that he can't even lead the RIGHT spade. From 10986, the imbecile leads the SIX. What makes this especially amusing is that from 109-EMPTY-fifth or sixth, these stooges will almost invariably lead (and waste) the TEN. Their motto should be "We are proud GIBBO robots and we are proud to say that if there is a WRONG way to do something, we WILL find it and we WILL do it."

West leads his stiff 9 of spades against South's 4H. Why? Well, maybe he's hoping to ruff the second spade with one of his...NON-EXISTENT TRUMPS!
