Trick four: West makes the HILARIOUS play of OVERTAKING (!) his "partner" East's club jack with his ace!!! Apparently he RUSHED to do this because he was in a DESPERATE hurry to play his jack of diamonds (from his remaining J8 dub) to dummy's remaining stiff, HIGH king.
You CANNOT make this stuff up! If you were writing bridge fiction and included THIS play, critics would scoff, and say that NO ONE would be STUPID enough to do it. It would DESTROY any credibility your story or novel might have. GIB/GIBBO is the EPITOME of cluelessness, ignorance, and hopelessness. It is garbage - pure garbage.

Why is West bidding 2C to show an unidentified SINGLE-suiter? SURELY, if he wishes to intervene, it would be INFINITELY better to bid 2NT, showing both minors, because he has a TWO-suiter, NOT a ONE-suiter. GIB/GIBBO is the worst EVER.

Typically STUPID lead by Frick, resulting in yet ANOTHER complete zero for him and Frack. These GIBBO clowns get humiliated every day as badly as a collection of dweebs got humiliated elsewhere three days ago.

And SPEAKING of stupid leads, check out Frick's ridiculous spade lead here. Yeah, "anything" COULD be "right" or "wrong", but his DANGEROUS lead from queen-third is MUCH more likely to COST than a SAFE heart lead, and also probably less likely to GAIN than a heart lead.
Frick's silly lead, combined with Frack's foolish pitch of his spade guard, allowed me to...LAUGHABLY take...ALL 13 TRICKS!
GIB/GIBBO robots are just SO bad...ALL the time!

2H is defined as an "Aggressive weak jump overcall". I wouldn't exactly describe West as being "aggressive" (!) with THAT hand!
The poor sap went for his life anyway, mind you, thanks to the TYPICAL Hawaii Five-O that we see SO often on BBO.

Ho hum, another TRULY wretched "defence". Watch, in particular, how West plays his SPADES throughout the hand.

He just wanted to make sure partner remembered what his lead was, and that he did like his initial lead.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

The two hopeless GIBBO pieces of garbage sitting East-West contrive to allow me to take TEN tricks in 1NT. East pops his club ace, never plays diamonds, and does not cash out. West stupidly pitches a diamond at his first opportunity. All this allows me to squeeze East in hearts and diamonds.
GIB/GIBBO robots are far, FAR worse than even the WORST human player I have ever encountered. GIB is an embarrassment to bridge. I do have some sympathy for GIBBO: How could it EVER be good, having descended from something as hopelessly weak, as poorly structured, and as pitifully defined as GIB? An apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

This time Frick and Frack conduct such a transparent "defence" that it's easy for me to squeeze West in clubs and hearts. They are SO bad.

In passout seat, I wanted to double 3S for penalty, but I checked the GIB definition and saw that GIB insanely plays that double as takeout, which is BEYOND stupid (even by the WOEFUL "standards" of the always wretched GIB system). Why on Earth would it make ANY sense for a double here to be takeout (!), given South's earlier 2NT bid over East's 2S opener?
No wonder the robots are so awful, saddled as they are with the hopeless GIB system and ridiculous GIB definitions.

Stupid lead as usual, wretched "defence" as usual. Another zero for Frick and Frack.

Why is West doubling? He has NOTHING of special note, AND his partner could not even respond to his lowly 1C opening!
