So after a practice session watching GIB robots messing up many hands, going down in cold games and so on, this slam sent me a bit over the edge. I'm sitting south.

Can someone please explain to me how GIB thinks that this is a good line of play? As far as I can tell it will only work if East has specifically AJ10x of trumps. How can GIB think that this line is better than simply playing East for the Ace of trumps?

Why does GIB make such simple mistakes that most beginners would not make? FYI During the bidding I was looking at the different bids GIB uses and found that there was absolutely no way to set ♥ as trump and ask for Aces or even trump quality. Ok, rant over I guess.

Can't explain the play, but:

The standard bid to do so here is 3♠, and it's part of GIB's system.

Are these the basic bots or advanced? I've seen similar things from basic bots, but never something like this from an advanced one.

3 ♠! Thanks, I admit I was searching but I didn't see this bid.
