Advanced GIB, IMPs. Somehow it came up with that its hands were good enough to bid a slam here. And then they didn't even win any of the first 3 tricks.

Classically, if you accept your own game try, you are showing a slam try.

In real life this sequence can a bit difficult because West could have a hand without slam interest but interested in playing in a Spade game rather than Heart Game, despite the 2H raise (which might be on 3 trumps with most humans if not apparently with GIB). That said, most humans would rebid 1S rather than 2H with 4-3 in the majors, although by no means universal.

But GIB claims that 2H raise shows 4 trumps anyway, so West is at fault and should just bid 4H over 2H, and reserve 2S followed by 4H as a slam try, in which case East is forgiven.

Welcome you to Gib robot forum.
Recently I have found some advanced Gibs played so worse than my basic one on this forum, this is really a strange thing, for computer science and Gib programming, I am a layman, and very interested on Gibs , so here I only express what I replayed.

1-


2- The better bidding sequences I think :


3-


4-


5-


6-


Now everyone should see Gibs work so well, normal scale, there were no abnormal.
Any ideas?

2♥ shows 12-15 total points. East has 15. Why doesn't he accept the game try?

Or even better splinter in clubs. Put the ace clubs into spades and slam is about slightly worse than 50/50.
