A hand from the
Cumbria Swiss Pairs in September.
North-South vulnerable Dealer North
Two spades is weak
and two notrump is an enquiry, three hearts shows a maximum weak two
and a
feature in hearts.
What do you bid now? Various slam trys
spring to mind now. You could bid 5 diamonds exclusion key card
Blackwood if you're playing that, or 5NT grand slam force again if
that's in your armoury. Neil Thomas chose a rather more direct
route to slam - he bid seven spades, reasoning that if partner had a
heart holding of say Qx or Kxx the clubs would provide sufficient
discards. Partner held AJ10852, K3, 92, 1093 so thirteen tricks
were easy. Surprisingly only one other pair bid this grand slam.
