I decided that at this scoring to rebid a 15-16 1NT with those majors would be a bit rich, and opted for an off-beat 2diamond. Thereafter the bidding degenerated into an "I will if you will" exchange, culminating in a game that was strictly for the optimists.

West leads a heart from heartKJxx and the opponents take the first four tricks, East discarding diamond6, described as Lavinthal. West now switches to a small spade. Previous page Next page
