- Slightly off shape 1NT?
- I make this a perfect hand to open 1NT but with the 15-17 range over a 2NT bid or equivalent I would bid 3d to let partner know to bid 3NT with diamond help or just play 3D if not.
- Ruling
- What I find the most amusing about this post is that there are now 52 responses!!!
- How would you rule?
- I agree with the comment that 2D was forcing Stayman as how else could declarer say he knew his partner didn't have hearts. Clearly if 2d was a transfer, East would have bid 3H and certainly over 3d bid hearts. To me it just seems like the line from ...
- How would you rule?
- Gonzalo, not exactly but you can not just ignore everything else and say you only did something because he had to have a certain distribution. And John, not suggesting a split score but a penalty for the offending side for not knowing what they were playing or using UI.
- How would you rule?
- Since it is not possible for your partner not to have the diamond K, since that would mean declarer had the spade K and AKJ of clubs and K of hearts to go with K of diamonds and attacked hearts after the black suits which would not have made any ...

- WOLD is Senior USA1
- Realized I hadn't seen all of you after your win in Chicago, so a big congrats to all that I didn't see.
- Provide the most difficult defence
- I must admit passing 4S with North hand is amazing!
- Four high-level leads
- Actually at the table that is what declarer did but timing was a little off. I believe you need clubs 3-3 so leave that for later and just duck a spade but once you find out spades are on your right, you may go for a heart, diamond squeeze on ...
- Four high-level leads
- Just for info...at the table I led the Queen of diamonds thinking the heart lead might be too dangerous. I believe winning and ducking a spade early seems better than ducking the diamond. At the table declarer I think made a slight error in cashing his clubs first which ...
