Since the corresponding North South and East West pairs hold the same cards accuracy in bidding and play by the respective partnerships should determine the Winner. That a not so in practice however. Bidding styles can Lead to different contracts quirks in distribution can cause abnormal results and then there is the matter of pure uck. When this Deal turned up in a High level team match at new Yorkus Cavendish club the two souths arrived at three no Trump via identical auctions. The opening two club bid was artificial and forcing two diamonds was negative anti the value jump to three no Trump had the unfortunate effect of shutting out the Superior game in hearts. At both tables the Ope Jiing led was the same the Queen of Spades. Both declares adopted essentially the same line of play. Their intention was to Cash the Ace and King of one red suit and the King of the other. If neither Queen appeared Declarer intended forcing an entry to Dummy in one red suit to take a finesse in the other. Where we watched Declarer won the opening Lead and cashed the two top hearts. When the Queen dropped South took two More heart tricks lost the Diamond finesse and wound up with an Over tricks two Spades a four hearts three diamonds and a club. The other Declarer was not so fortunate. South ejected to Cash the Ace King of diamonds and King of hearts then Force an entry up diamonds to take the Beart finesse. That meant the defenders scored both red suit Queens and three Spade tricks for Down one. Cd est la vie q.

All thoughts of slam Are out the window. There Are some few hands where partner will be Able to make nine tricks at no Trump but 10 at hearts Are beyond reach in the suit contract there a always the risk of encountering a bad Trump break. We wont fault you however for bidding four hearts. Q.
