I just love the description "4+ C; 5+ D; 4+ H; 3- S". If GIB had believed I have a spade void it might have bid more intelligently.

I don't get the problem, isn't 4NT RKC for clubs in Gib's system?

btw be thankful 13 cards is still possible lol, I had an auction one time where I had promised 7-7 in the reds :) And I apparently didn't have any more TP than HCP.

Handviewer bug strikes again. :( Edited now so the result is visible - the problem was that GIB play 6♣+1 rather than 7♣=.

I've been in worse grands. ;) Anyway the point is, if you bid Blackwood, you should know what to do with the answer. That wasn't the case here.
