This is just me yelling at the wind but far too many totally stupid leads work wonders when they computer miraculously finds its partner with just the right totally unexpected distribution. Come on put some parameters in the bidding to force the computer to make NORMAL RATIONAL LEADS when the bidding calls for it (you know stuff like leading partner suit etc etc.. stop messing with people that know how to bid effectively and will only lose to what amounts to cheating think about it.

there is an explanation about GIB's leads on some bbo link which make complete sense. i think it is based on some book which proves neutral leads in a lot of cases make sense. Of course depends upon bidding and so forth.

I have no idea what your talking about. A few examples would be useful.
Gib leads are different from what you expect because of it's documented methods.
I find more leads that don't work than miraculousworking leads.

Please peruse this
http://www.bridgebas...ystem_notes.php
especially the section "How GIB defends" with a link to the book as well.

if interested. Please don't pass on the link to other $MB players. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Are you playing with a computer program other than GIB??? I count on GIB making a terrible lead when making decisions on how high to bid and consider myself very unlucky when GIB makes a killing lead.

most gratifying is when GIB gets pseudo squeezed in high contracts. Probably has to do with how well declarer hid cards or GIB partner did not give proper count.
