North a Blackwood bid of five no Trump which confirmed Possession of All the aces and suggested grand slam possibilities had to be based on a Good heart fit since North could not hold enough in Spades to be interested in a grand slam in that suit. Therefore South went directly to the grand slam in hearts because of the solidity of the Spade suite a key distributional feature not revealed in the auction. West led the King of diamonds and Declarer could count on 10 tricks in the majors and the two minor suit aces. The club finesse was a 50 percent shot for the fulfilling trick but the High Trumps in Dummy offered an alternate line. Declarer could plan on a Dummy reversal if Trumps broke 3-2, a 68 percent probability. To leave both lines available Declarer won the Diamond with the Ace and immediately ruffed a Diamond. Next two rounds of Trumps were drawn with Dummy a q j. Had either defender showed out Declarer would have had to draw All the Trumps and fall Back on the club finesse. However when both defenders followed Declarer could have claimed the grand slam. After ruffing another Diamond in hand Declarer crossed to the ten of Spades and tufted Dummy a last Diamond with the Ace of Trumps. The Ace of clubs was the entry to Dummy to draw the last Trump on which Declarer discarded the closed hand s remaining club. In All Declarer Cor rated five Spade tricks the minor suit aces three Trumps and three Diamond ruffs. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold 4qj73 9a6 09 4ak10762 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 4 pass 1 0 pass 7 what do you bid now  you can show a four card major suit at the one level you should do so. Therefore we would rebid one Spade despite the poor Quality of the suit before rebinding our Good six card minor. Q. A both vulnerable of South you hold 4762 9aqj6 ckq98 4aq partner opens the bidding with one Spade. What do you respond  have a very Good hand. However you have neither a suit nor the fit for Spades which would warrant a jump shift and a leap to three no Trump should be reserved for hands with a 4-3-3-3 pattern. Therefore All you can do for the moment is bid two diamonds and wait to see what develops. Ave 111 sch a ill Ahia re Xiv my.

But Here you have a Fine Spade suit that merits an Overall which would be automatic with More balanced distribution. We can see no reason to suppress it. Bid one Spade. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 4akq3 995 0k8762 483 the bidding has proceeded North East South West i 4 pass ? what do you bid now  is a school that believes that you must show a four card major before even a five or six card minor regardless of strength but in the words of Sam Goldwyn include us out we bid five card suits before four carders and with two four baggers respond up the line unless the hand is minimum and Worth Only one bid. Respond one Diamond. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 41087 9aj763 0qj42 48 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 4 pass ? what do you bid now  is a borderline two Over one response in Standard methods. Nevertheless we prefer a simple raise of partner s suit regardless of system. Responding two hearts first and then raising Spades would greatly overstate your values. Bid two Spades.
