Insanity all round. North is ridiculously pushing with a passed hand and RED vulnerability. West has only a choice of unusual "cue" bid which offers nothing extra. South can't read descriptions. West passed out suicidal bid.

On Hand 3 you see that NT bidding has not improved- its a straight forward 3NT not 3S.

I've come to the conclusion that all the programming GIB has about when to double is based on its partner's bidding. It counts up the points pard has shown, adds its own and decides - often quite erroneously - that the opponents are too high. When GIB has trump tricks and/or extra values guaranteeing a big set, it passes, cuebids, bids a three card suit or anything other than the totally obvious double.

Let's hear your response to this comment Georgi. There are more examples than I could count.

Actually here 2♦ was supposedly GF.

It shows in v34 fit in partner's suit and 13+TP.

Also fixed the brave 2♥, which is also cuebiding their suit, even if 2♦ was weaker, requirement for 2♥ was 14+ non vulnerable, 16+ vulnerable, so steam is released and such overbidding will be avoided.

Why??

For GIB at the moment for some auctions if you cuebid their suit ( 4+ cards shown for sure ) once there is no approved suit for the pair ( yet ), you show length in partner's suit.

For some auctions it shows only 13+TP and 4+ in your suit.

But here it shows 2+ cards in partner's suit along your 4+ major cards.
