The
next two deals from Raymond Semp in the recent Great
Northern Swiss Pairs.
Dealer
E Love All
East
opens a weak two diamonds and West will bid five
diamonds.
If
South overcalls two hearts, then North will just
have to guess well. Seven hearts is a
reasonable gamble, hoping for partner either to have
the club king or singleton club or for the club
finesse to be working. It is difficult to find
any scientific way to reach the grand slam.
Dealer
South EW Vul
Here
after South opens one diamond, West will overcall
one spade, then if North doubles East will bid four
spades.
Now
South will bid five clubs and North seems to have
enough to raise to six clubs, with the fifth trump
and good controls in the majors. North might
even be worth a bid of five spades here.
An
exciting set of four consecutive boards in a Swiss
Teams match.
