We updated GIB last night.

Version 14 contains the usual small set of bugfixes.

We have also revamped "responding to 1 level overcalls."
New suits are nonforcing+constructive, Jump Shifts are natural and forcing, jump raises are weak, jump cues are mixed.

We also enhanced the areas 'Responding when RHO overcalls 1N' , 'responding after responders reverse'.

So where is the rest of GIB's system card - the thread linking to it is threadbare?

GIB played much worse than I have ever seen it play before when I was using it today.

On Tuesday night at the club my RHO opponent played a trump to dummy's king in a four-four fit that was always going off partly because I had four small trumps. Dummy who hadn't been watching the play closely said at the end of the hand "You should have played a high trump from your hand first". I said "Her trumps were KTxx opposite AQJx. How would you have played the suit?"

Today GIB had that same suit against me and managed to play it for only one loser!!!!

Low from each hand on the first round.
