Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Find that Ace
- Kit - you criticise Easts pass of 3NT, even though he scored +600. Double would have led to 4♣ and not such a large plus score. Agreed - it could have gone wrong, but as South is clearly taking a risk, bidding on does not seem to be mandatory.

- Good write up - I had another unsuccessfull weekend. 3NT is not easy on a non-spade lead. You have to guess on the third round of clubs who has the Club 10. I guessed wrong. I think that the bidding 1♥ - 1NT - 2♦ - 3♦ - 3♠ should initially ...
