Can't complain about the score (another 100 % for NS, another complete zero for EW), but that is QUITE a 2S bid by North! Yes, I understand the concept of balancing, but:

He has THREE (!) HCP - comprised of a JACK in his five-card "side" suit and a queen - a DOUBLETON queen.

His "suit" is a mere FOUR-bagger, and the "quality" leaves a LITTLE (ha, ha!) to be desired...with 9753!

He is doing this red against white!

Luckily I had GOLD for him, as this was one of my frequent operations playing with and against these hopeless GIBBO clowns, and for STARTERS I had NINETEEN QUALITY HCP (!) for my "15-17" INT, but for all HE knew, I could have had a mere 15, and it could have been a LOUSY 15!

Trick four: East leads the 10 of diamonds - a colossally stupid play that gives me the whole suit. There was once a commercial for a cleaning product that claimed the product was "stronger than dirt". GIBBO robots could paraphrase this as their motto: Dumber than dirt.

Wretched declarer play by the GIBBO simpleton in the East. That's right, declarer play: the one and ONLY facet of bridge that the GIBBO dirtbags are not completely hopeless at...but as this hand shows, they aren't particularly GOOD at it either.

And speaking of wretched, why does North play the NINE of spades at trick one rather than correctly playing the eight? This is an example of the COUNTLESS "little" things that these GIBBO bozos get wrong...and that often go unnoticed because people are focused on their more obvious BIG atrocities. GIBBO is trash.

Just because you play a convention it doesn't mean you're forced to use it. Bidding two HEARTS on West's hand looks foolhardy, and the doofus got what he deserved.

Another wretched "defence".
