For this hand,I admit I can't get best contract.I can't make it in the normal defense situation.
After Gib W lead ♦Q,then ♦J,Gib E play ♦A and don't duck at this round,Gib E don't return ♦,but play ♥K?!
I have found Gib to squander honor tricks strangely - human never do that.

Leading stiff K around to opp's A is one of GIB's favorite plays.

As defender with long suit,that playing style often is a weakness.

should duck A♦ to preserve communications, so if p gets in can lead ♦

leading K♥ is bizarre think would take a break from playing with such a partner lol

Is this because Gib uses double dummy analysis so Gib knows declarer is always going to drop King?
Sarcasm is a state of mind
