A deal from a Cheadle
Hulme Club Duplicate on 15th August.
Deal rotated for convenience Dealer West E-W Vulnerable
North South were
playing strong notrump with five card majors, so North opened one
club. After West's overcall of two diamonds, North's two spade
call guaranteed four spades (a support double would show three card
support). South then suggested three notrump as an alternative
contract and North, with his completely flat hand, saw no reason to
return to spades at pairs. West led the four of hearts, how
do you proceed?
Solution The only problem is how to play the spade suit. With West more likely to be short in spades than East, Neil Thomas correctly played the two of spades initially to score a joint top on the board when West turned up with a singleton queen of spades. |
