This was an interesting hand which probably led to all sorts of auctions. Pianola shows me that NS ended up in spade partscores, heart games, diamond games and a notrump game - it would be interesting to hear some other auctions.
On our table I was E. N opened 1S, I overcalled 2C and then NS bid uncontested with 2H - 2S - 3D - 3NT after a long pause; I then had my fingers crossed this would pass out as I was sure it wouldn't make... indeed it shouldn't though the one pair that bid it scored an overtrick... S sensibly shifted to 4H which was the final contract.
They made it unfortunately (for us at least). What are the best lines for both declarer and defense though? We just got a D trick and the KQ hearts at the end of the day.

What happened to your spade trick Vijay?
ReplyDeleteOn our table, as East I overcalled 2C after North had opened 1S. South doubled, and North bid 2S which made for an average score.
ReplyDelete4H will make on a non-spade lead, but this board seems to depend more on luck than judgement.
