West's lead at trick 9 is impossible. It appears like the machine is broken.

This is the sort of nonsense that GIBBO was supposed to eliminate, not worsen.
Where is the author of the modifications?

Another example of insane cardplay.

South opened 1♥ then bid ♦ naturally. Not that it matters, but West overcalled 1♠.



Declaring in 4♥, I (South) am on lead at trick 9. The full count is known to East; the only (slight) ambiguity could be that I hold ♥6 ♦AKQ ♣10. However, I bid diamonds so it's unlikely that I hold a 3-card diamond suit. In any case, if I have the ♣10, there is no defence and I always score all the tricks.

The shocking play was that on my final trump, East discarded the ♦6(!) while retaining a useless ♣4. Gives me undeserved overtrick!

Again, this discard by East is an impossible play.
