Help
Currently we have challenge a stranger, and challenge a friend. I'd like to suggesting adding challenge Gib. Identical to challenging a stranger, but Gib is at the other table.

Seconded. There have been several suggestions of late being a variation on this theme, for a variety of tournament formats. Maybe it will gain traction. There is a cost issue to address.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.
Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).

Good idea.
However, I think Gib has no great ability to play against human at present.
Maybe it can do in the future.

GIB does get tested against human players by the programmers. The results of that testing are not generally published. However we were given a bit of insight maybe a couple of years ago when Uday advised in these forums that GIB was (at that time) turning in about a 57% game against a human cross-section of BBO. So, while I may agree that this does not qualify as a "great ability", it may still be a worthy opponent.
Let's not confuse the issue with GIB playing against human opponents on the same table. At that I would expect GIB to fail miserably. But two tables comprising 7 GIB players and 1 average human player could give rise to an interesting comparison.
