I answer 3&#x2666; and you leap to game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Nor<\/em><\/strong>th: \u201cI consider this hand to be a two-suiter. 3&#x2663; is simply natural and would be indisputable if I had had a singleton in Hearts or Diamonds and King-third in the other suit. I grant you that I could have said 2NT, but I don\u2019t agree with your 3&#x2660; bid, which is more than pessimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>North spoke very well. Nevertheless, he could and even should have chosen the generalized trial bid at 2NT, not only to show a balanced hand, but also to avoid giving unnecessary information to the opponents which might help them for the opening lead or later defense. Remember that to bid 2NT you need 15+HCP while 3&#x2663;, 3&#x2666; or 3&#x2665; can be done from 14HCP on, thanks to re-evaluation of the hand due to the unbalanced distribution. <strong>On the other hand, contrary to popular belief, a natural trial bid doesn\u2019t say anything about the quality of the suit. It can well hide &#x2663;KQJ4, &#x2663;AQ84, &#x2663;K653 ou J943<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is where South made an error. He must not limit his evaluation to examining his Club holding and with three small cards deduct three losers and with no cover card (to use the vocab\u0002ulary frequently associated with this analysis) refuse the invitation to game and rebid 3&#x2660;. On the contrary, he must assess the quantity and quality of all of his high cards. The quality of his trump support, the presence of an Ace and the added value linked to the Heart doubleton often associated with three cards in partner\u2019s hand are sufficient arguments to jump to 4&#x2660;. If you really don\u2019t want to jump to game, 3&#x2666;, \u201cneither fish nor fowl\u201d may be acceptable. And even opposite Jxxx in Clubs, 4 Spades will still be an excellent contract, because the rest of partner\u2019s hand will be something like: &#x2660;AQ1094 &#x2665;AK3 &#x2666;6 &#x2663;J954. Here\u2019s another example for better understanding. Imagine a South hand like this: &#x2660;763 &#x2665;Q874 &#x2666;Q874 &#x2663;A2, the same 8HCP and the Club Ace doubleton, an ideal cover! This time, you must answer 3&#x2660;. <strong>South is therefore 90% guilty. North 10%. The bid that was responsible for the accident: 3&#x2660; over 3&#x2663;<\/strong>.

We have a total of at least 25HCP, you don\u2019t have the right to pass! I even ask myself if a take-out Double followed by a bid at the two-level isn\u2019t forcing one round.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>South: <\/em><\/strong>\u201cAs you noticed, I thought it over a lot before passing. I know we have 25HCP in our combined hands, thanks for reminding me. Your 2&#x2660; bid definitely doesn\u2019t show six Spades. I thought bidding 3&#x2665; would lead to a bad contract when you don\u2019t stop Hearts, which is likely, with only a small chance of get\u0002ting nine tricks if you do stop them.

Their arguments are tinged with aggressiveness and are unconvincing from a technical point of view. South\u2019s reasons for passing 2&#x2660; are purely inadmissible. His reasoning must be the exact opposite of deciding that none of the available game con\u0002tracts can give a good result. His reaction is the perfect example for what you, dear reader, must not do. Contrary to what he did, he must bid game without asking himself any questions because his side has at least 25HCP. The only \u201cproblem\u201d is to find the best strain and to do so, South must indeed bid 3&#x2665; over 2&#x2660;, planning to play 4 Spades if North then says 3&#x2660; (either with six Spades or with five but no Heart stopper), 3NT if that\u2019s what North bids over 3&#x2665; and why not 5 Clubs if the reply should be 4&#x2663;. And, for sake of completeness, 4 Spades opposite a bid of 4&#x2666;. <strong>North is therefore right to criticize South\u2019s Pass of 2&#x2660; but his 2&#x2660; bid doesn\u2019t do justice to his hand, <\/strong>which would be a perfect example for an old-fashioned semi-forcing opening of 2&#x2660;. It\u2019s true that 2&#x2660; shows a hand with 18-20HCP, but most often with only five Spades or a mediocre six-card suit like &#x2660;AJ8754 for example.

And yet, our two players look very comfortable in slam bidding, at least in the first few rounds of the bidding. Let\u2019s see what they say to defend themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arguments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>North:<\/em><\/strong> \u201cMy Spade void prevented me from taking the reins and using RKCB after your 4&#x2666;. Then, I\u2019m not allowed to raise to the grand slam even though I am under the impression that no key card can be missing; 6&#x2665; is a sign off. We have to work on the developments after a 5NT bid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>South: <\/em><\/strong>I admit that this 5NT response had me perplexed. I understood that you showed a void, but I wasn&#8217;t certain of the suit of the void &#8211; Spades or Clubs &#8211; and not even of the number of your key-cards eaither. It&#8217;s too late to ask for the Queen of trumps and I don&#8217;t want to play a 40% grand slam opposite Ace fifth of Hearts. You never showed this mountain, you could actually bid the grand over 6&#x2665;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the bidding sequence step by step. 3&#x2665; is the trigger bid to explore the slam, a forcing double raise after a new suit 2 over 1. However, it\u2019s not mandatory for North to start showing his controls. 4&#x2663; shows not only a control in Clubs, but also a non-minimum opening hand. Opener has the right and the duty to slow down things with 4&#x2665; with the same Club King in his hand, if the rest looks like for example: &#x2660;Q5 &#x2665;A9532 &#x2666;K987 &#x2663;K4. But that\u2019s not all! A control showing bid in responder\u2019s suit promises a control by an honor, either Ace or King, never shortness. The King of Clubs opposite Ace-Queen-Jack fifth ensures five tricks, but you\u2019d have to struggle in order to take three tricks without los\u0002ing one opposite a singleton. The 5NT response to RKCB shows precisely two key-cards and a void, without specifying the suit of that void. South must realize that with the Spade Ace or King and a Club void, North naturally starts by bidding 3&#x2660; over 3&#x2665;. The delayed control bid in Spades, 4&#x2660; over 4&#x2666;, therefore shows shortness, which now turned out to be a void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how can you ask for the Queen of trumps after 5NT? This technique is very little known, the response of 5NT being relatively rare. The simplest and easiest to remember is to decide that the next level, 6&#x2663; therefore, asks for the trump Queen just like after a classic answer to RKCB, for example 5&#x2666; over 5&#x2663;. If South, lacking agreements, only not to sign off in 6&#x2665;, says 6&#x2663; over 5NT, North bids the grand slam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But is North\u2019s bidding flawless? Broadly, yes. North is right not to use RKCB with a void, and bidding 7&#x2665; over 6&#x2665; may be very tempting but unruly \u2013 the Club Ace may be missing.
