Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Point of No Return
- Aha - a scrolling issue. I overlooked the opening 3C bid; adding that to the equation answers both my questions rather trivially. As to the 4D hand, how did the club play go? And for that matter the trump play? Presumably after two rounds of clubs partner hoped declarer was 1273 ...
- Declare 7NT on the Nine of Diamonds lead
- Do you? I can’t imagine covering the KC. Declarer drove 7N over 2C; he isn’t going to need three club tricks. And the guy knew dummy had three Aces before he led, he had time to think about this.
- Point of No Return
- Really good article. I don’t follow why your partner was on lead at all against the Auken /Welland 5C? Is a double of 4S to say you want to bid 5C a common method? It seems quite a specific hand-type. Also don’t follow the defence to 4D against ...

- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- Anyway the ruling in question was an appeal. We don't know which of the partnership decided to appeal, but likely it was a team decision.
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- C’mon, no-one doubles 4C just because they have AC! He’s expecting to be on lead against a spade contract, not defending 7NT.
- Director call in local club
- Over 3D, itself a pre-empt?
- Director call in local club
- Isn’t it, Kieran? Why not? 2N was invitational plus. How is 4H not a subset of that? And anyway all bets are off once West says ‘bid what you like, aren’t they?’
