Thoughts? I think 4S is ridiculous especially when a 3S is available. What exactly could the GIBug be?

Also, have you noticed GIBBO generally has length in one/both of opps' suits when makes fit-showing jumps i.e. 3C here.

This is not a fit-showing jump (that would be something like (1D)-1S-(p)-3H). It's a jump cue, or a mixed raise.

though the sequence mentioned in GIBBOworld is strong hearts and i think 2- spades.

Of course 4S is ridiculous though, sorry for not mentioning that in the first post. Looking forward to your next portmanteaus, keep up the good work!

4♠ is hideous. The only reason Gib can count 12 points is counting singleton. You need a fit to count a singleton. The only known fit is clubs and might even be 4-3. Do you really want to be in 4♣ when partner opened 1♣ and then went quiet?

agree. question is where is the bug? there should be because this is insane by any standards.

Gib counts shortness when it shouldn't.
Counts in NT.
Counts when shortness is in partner's suit.
Probably others.
Don't think is a bug is a design feature lol.

I think the GIBug might be:
Until explicit fit is found DO NOT assume implicit fit and count "points" for singletons or doubletons. If assume implicit fit MUST HAVE 6+ cards in suit.

That should cover it. I have asked the question several times. "points" I read on BBO website 10 years ago are applicable when fit is found. BBO since then, at some point, removed the fit and points statement.
