Just an interesting freak hand, really, not a bug report.

Any takers on how to get to 7H with confidence? I trust you agree it is where you want to be.

First up, what do you think of my 2N overcall? In GIBberish it has no upper limit, and I felt that if it gets to 4S by the time I get another chance to bid I would rather be in the position of having shown 5-5.

Next up, colour me stupid, but North does not have "10 total points" for the 4D bid. He only has 9, LOL.

I certainly wouldn't try it, but it would be cool if:
showed first-round control

As East, I think I'd bid 5♦ over 4♦ but pass over 5♥ in your second auction.

Thanks for reporting it.

Actually explanation was incomplete.

GIB wished to show Splinter.

4♦ had to have the meaning which is fixed in next version -> 1- ♦; 3+ ♥; 9+ HCP; 10+ total points

Obviously GIB added some "muscularity" based on shape and simming. But looks justified.

It's perfectly reasonable to add "muscularity" to say that the given hand has 10+TP; it's not at all reasonable to imply that the given hand has 9+HCP. That HCP part of the explanation should be removed.
