Apparently GIB doesnt count well neither to 17, nor to 3. Also why 1 on this auction needs to be 6 card suit?

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Let alone why it even bids 1 without even 3 hearts to support the suit. Why not 1NT or 2NT (though I don't think 2NT would play well on a minimum double)?
Of course you'd bid 3 or 2 depending on the rollover choices and GIB should force back to 3NT.

Also love the way it doesn't lead partner's suit which is the only way to keep you to making game just.

The bots lead is wrong too.
"And no matter what methods you play, it is essential, for anyone aspiring to learn to be a good player, to learn the importance of bidding shape properly. MikeH
"100% certain that many excellent players would disagree. This is far more about style/judgment than right vs. wrong." Fred

Thanks for reporting.

The problem for 17TP ( where GIB has 18) and 3+ while having 2nd is that the 2NT seems unusable. 1NT shows 12-14HCP while the reverse in opponents suit is illogical to bid it.
So that rebid will be fixed.

The responds after 1-1 with 5+4+majors are an object for correction how GIB reveals them. There was some improvement in the last update, it will be continued in the next to be covered more and more situations.
