Because of the poorly-designed, illogical, antiquated, hopeless, worthless GIB joke of a system, North has to bid THREE spades. Was the architect of this nonsense trying to create the worst bidding system the world has ever seen? Asking for a friend.

We got a shared top on this board, so as always I'm not crying about the score. I like to remind people every now and then that this thread is NEVER about EITHER complaining or bragging; it is ALWAYS about bashing GIB in the hope that ONE DAY the powers that be will finally get RID of GIB and replace it with a DECENT system.
But the problem here (although it fortunately did not cost) is North's STUPID requirement (?) to JUMP to THREE spades. He has ALREADY doubled West's 1NT, so there is no need on EARTH to jump! If you read the definition of 3S, you will see that it shows "9-11 HCP", which is exactly what the definition of his earlier double also said.
As you can see, this is really the SAME type of I.D.I.O.C.Y. as that exposed in post 3221 immediately above, which I guess is not surprising, since both situations are most likely due to the same creator of the wretched, illogical, useless, redundant, incomplete, pathetic GIB system.

Stunningly stupid 4S bid. Does GIB think this nonsense is bridge?

Do these GIB/GIBBO numbskulls EVER make an opening lead that is NOT astoundingly stupid?

Why does West bid 4C rather than 3S? This typical GIBBO lunatic is bidding:
His SHORTER suit (5 cards) rather than his LONGER suit (6 cards).
He's doing this a level HIGHER, at the FOUR level (for clubs) rather than at the THREE level (for spades).
He's doing it in a LOWER-scoring strain (clubs) rather than a HIGHER-scoring strain (spades).
BRAVO, GIB: Three out of three for doing the ILLOGICAL thing! Was GIB created on BIZARRO WORLD, where everything is BACKWARDS? What a perfect example of the STUNNINGLY illogical and ridiculous aura that pervades GIB! GIB is junk that FAR too often exhibits pure stupidity such as that exemplified here.
Note also that the GIB definition of East's double is typically pathetic. Also, note that the GIB West could have declared to better effect.

Why the HELL is North bidding 2S? All South did was overcall a lowly 1S, yet North now feels that he MUST bid 2S...RED AGAINST WHITE...with a mere THREE (!) HCP (a jack and a queen...with the QUEEN...in the club suit that was opened by one of his OPPONENTS!)...with a flattish 2-4-3-4 shape...and even MORE comically with the doubleton (!) in the SPADE suit that he is now FREELY bidding!!!
I've said many times that I really don't think the putrid GIB/GIBBO robots are getting even worse...but EVERY day they do something NEW that is ASTOUNDINGLY stupid. GIB is the World Champion at creating pure, total I.D.I.O.C.Y. day after day after day...on an ENDLESS loop. I have to take off my hat to the creator for designing something with INFINITE creativity for the art of the ridiculous.
Note, by the way, that the dynamically crazy 2S bid does not even adhere to the imbecilic robot's own GIB definition in EITHER points OR trump length. GIB/GIBBO is the unchallenged SAD SACK of the world.

East decides to UNDERLEAD his diamond ace at trick three. West decides to...DUCK (!) his diamond queen on that trick! Between them, these two clueless GIBBO bozos manage to turn their two NATURAL, "GUARANTEED" diamond tricks into only one.
GIB/GIBBO provides more LAUGHS than Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld combined...but the SAD thing is that GIB isn't TRYING to be funny. It's (presumably) TRYING to play good bridge, but it is so completely ROTTEN and HOPELESS that just about everything it does provides gales of laughter.
GIB/GIBBO is a JOKE, but sadly a TRAGIC joke.

Another complete zero for Frick and Frack, thanks to a phenomenally stupid lead by Frick. How the Hell does the fool expect a HEART lead to turn out well after this auction?

Look at the stupidity and inconsistency of the ridiculous GIB auction by the braindead GIBBO robot in the North.
The terminal fool COULD simply bid 2S over South's 2D Michaels bid if he wants to play in...spades. That actually seems like a NORMAL action, which I guess explains why the GIBBO trashcan did NOT do it. GIBBO is most certainly NOT normal. It is ABnormal and SUBnormal. It is THE PITS.
Anyway, Superdweeb instead bids 2NT, asking South to name his better minor. This seems abnormal, but...okay, it COULD sometimes work out, and he IS 6-5 in the minors. Whether or not we agree with his choice, it's not the WORST decision he's ever made - far, FAR from it!
South bids 3C. Okay, mission accomplished: North presumably wanted to play in the pair's best combined minor and he has now successfully identified that minor. So, he passes 3C and hopes that he was right to opt for playing in a minor rather than in spades. Correct?
No. No. NOT correct, because...the inconsistent, illogical C.R.E.T.I.N...NOW decides to bid three SPADES! WHAT? What the HELL? First it appeared that he wanted to play in a minor...but NOW he changes horses in midstream and says, "Nah. I want to play in spades after all." Make up your "mind", you GIBBO dimwit!
All the hapless, hopeless spawn of GIB has "succeeded" in doing is RAISING the level for us, WHICHEVER suit we play in. If it's spades, we'll play at the THREE level when we could have been in two, If it's clubs, we'll play at the FOUR level when we could have stopped in three. In either case, if we go down one, the trout will have turned a PLUS into a MINUS (one of the MANY "specialties" of these sickening GIB pieces of junk), and if we go down MORE than one it will be one trick MORE than we would have gone down a level lower.
GIB/GIBBO is the worst of the worst, the lowest of the low, an embarrassment to bridge. GIB/GIBBO is garbage. You know, maybe it would have been better if someone had created a DECENT system and written DECENT definitions. Maybe THEN GIB/GIBBO would not have ended up being such repugnant trash.
But, as the annoying cliché goes: It is what it is. (And what it IS...is the worst bridge you are ever likely to see anywhere on THIS planet!)

What a HUGELY stupid 3NT bid by the piece of GIBBO dirt in the North. Among other things, notice his "stopper" of 863 in spades. Oh yeah, GREAT system you created, Mr. GIB...simply GREAT.
At trick three, West plays his TEN (!) of clubs from 1083 tripleton. "Why," you might ask, "is he making this extraordinarily stupid second hand HIGH play for absolutely NO reason?" The answer is simple: He's doing it because he's a contemptible GIBBO robot, and they are MASTERS at making EXTRAORDINARILY stupid plays all the time.
East had actually STUMBLED into an effective opening lead (a diamond) thanks to the random layout of this random hand in the VERY random game of bridge. So, does he CONTINUE diamonds at trick five and BEAT the hand?
He's a GIBBO robot (descended from the horror show that is GIB), so of COURSE he doesn't. He cashes his spade ace. West DOES NOT encourage, as he follows with his 5 from K975. Does East NOW go back to diamonds? It's not too late. He can STILL beat the hand....but HE'S (still) a GIBBO robot, so of COURSE he doesn't go back to diamonds. Of COURSE he doesn't beat the hand. He continues SPADES, almost certainly because his "partner" did NOT encourage in spades! These useless GIB/GIBBO clowns really DO seem to have been born on BIZARRO WORLD.
NS make their "impossible" contract.
No, Frick and Frack do NOT get a good score for their "defence". Yes, GIB/GIBBO IS the worst "bridge" I have ever seen.

Three astoundingly stupid plays by the incompetent GIBBO knuckleheads sitting East-West:
1. Trick three: Looking at THAT dummy, the GIBBO doofus in the West leads the 2 of clubs.
2. Trick seven: East, a graduate of the GIB Academy of Bridge, follows his beloved (and insane) "strategy" of second hand HIGH, as he pops his heart QUEEN from Q432.
3. Trick eight: West CASHES his heart jack...thereby making ALL...MY (!) remaining hearts WINNERS.
Well DONE, gentlemen! Well done, INDEED! CONGRATULATIONS, gentlemen, for your unparalleled skill in...making it EASY for ME to obtain a shared top of 92.86 % on the board.
Note to the GIBBO robots: You seem to be nice. You are definitely VERY generous in handing out good scores to your OPPONENTS.
But, uh, you MIGHT want to think about taking up some OTHER hobby. You MIGHT want to think about doing ANYTHING other than bridge, because, gentlemen, nice though you may be, generous though you may be, you absolutely STINK at bridge!
