After a new suit 1-over-1, your jump to 3&#x2665; is non-forcing and shows three-card support and 11-12 points including distribution. With my trash, I pass as fast as I can.\u201d<br><strong>South: <\/strong>\u201cYou\u2019re still somewhere in the last century! Let me remind you that we now use 2NT to show a non-forcing raise with three cards and 11-12 points. Delayed raises to the three-level are forcing nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one who is right is South. At least when he explains to his partner that his bid is forcing by inference. Limit raises with 11-12 points are now made with either 3&#x2665; to show four trumps or with 2NT when you have three-card support. As a corollary, the delayed raise to the three-level is game-forcing, even after the initial response of 1&#x2660;, 1-over-1. Note that the 2NT response to 1&#x2665; doesn\u2019t deny four or even five cards in Spades. In the ranges of 8-10 or 11-12 points, it\u2019s a priority to show the Heart support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>North is therefore wrong when he passes 3&#x2665;. He must bid 4&#x2665; to show his minimum. Without him being responsible for the accident, South shoud have avoided the problems for his partner by leaping to 4&#x2665; over 2&#x2663;, just as North suggested. By jumping to 3&#x2665;, South implies slam interest and promises 16 (or at the very least a very good 15) points or more. But he only has 13 points, including a third Queen in Diamonds, which is of doubtful value. With the same distribution, a jump to 3&#x2665; promises at least a hand like: &#x2660;A9854 &#x2665;AJ5 &#x2666;A93 &#x2663;Q3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-5b6911a\" data-block-id=\"5b6911a\"><style>.stk-5b6911a{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-stackable-blockquote stk-block-blockquote stk-block stk-0a64093 is-style-highlighted\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"0a64093\"><div class=\"has-text-align-left stk-block-blockquote__content stk-container stk-0a64093-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-0a2bc9a\" data-block-id=\"0a2bc9a\"><style>.stk-0a2bc9a .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-0a2bc9a .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#bda706 !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-0a2bc9a\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-0-a-2-bc-9-a-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-0-a-2-bc-9-a-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 50 50\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M19.8 9.3C10.5 11.8 4.6 17 2.1 24.8c2.3-3.6 5.6-5.4 9.9-5.4 3.3 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.3 2.2 2.2 3.4 5 3.4 8.3 0 3.2-1.1 5.8-3.3 8-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.2-8.7 3.2-3.7 0-6.5-1.2-8.6-3.5C1 36.3 0 33.1 0 29 0 18.3 6.5 11.2 19.6 7.9l.2 1.4zm26.4 0C36.9 11.9 31 17 28.5 24.8c2.2-3.6 5.5-5.4 9.8-5.4 3.2 0 6 1.1 8.3 3.2 2.3 2.2 3.4 4.9 3.4 8.3 0 3.1-1.1 5.8-3.3 7.9-2.2 2.2-5.1 3.3-8.6 3.3-3.7 0-6.6-1.1-8.6-3.4-2.1-2.3-3.1-5.5-3.1-9.7 0-10.7 6.6-17.8 19.7-21.1l.1 1.4z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-65baf35\" data-block-id=\"65baf35\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>Note <\/strong>You have noticed that over 3&#x2665;, opener must jump on the brakes by way of 4&#x2665;.

True, given my distribution in the black suits, I could bet on you holding three Spades and blindly try 3NT. I think 3&#x2660; confirms a Spade stopper and asks for a stopper in Clubs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>South: <\/strong>\u201cFor me, the 3&#x2665; bid guarantees three Hearts, sometimes even four. Given that I have no interest in playing a slam, I sign off in 4&#x2665; without asking myself another question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth comes from the mouths of the candid. North bid 3&#x2665; over 3&#x2666; because he didn\u2019t know how to show that he had no Spade stopper, well aware that he was probably imposing a contract with only seven trumps \u2013 a lesser evil. South\u2019s 3&#x2666; after the Heart transfer shows a game forcing two-suiter in an unbalanced hand (or 5-4-2-2 and slam ambitions). Opener always replies 3&#x2665; with three Hearts. 3&#x2660; shows a stopper in Spades, but not in Clubs, and 3NT confirms stoppers in both unbid suits. There is no space to show the absence of a Spade stopper, a problem we call the \u201cproblem of the Diamonds\u201d. In this situation, 3&#x2665; over 3&#x2666; becomes ambiguous: either a fit with three (or four) Hearts or only two Hearts but no Spade stopper. When responder decides what to bid next, he must assume the second possibility. South is therefore guilty of ignorance; it\u2019s difficult to blame him. Over 3&#x2665;, responder must bid 3NT with three Spades (even without a stopper) and a singleton Club, 4&#x2665; with three Clubs and one Spade, 3&#x2660; or 4&#x2663; with slam interest in Hearts, and finally 4&#x2666; with a 5-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bid responsible for the accident 4&#x2665; over 3&#x2665;.

The raise to 3&#x2660; seems to have prevented North-South from reaching 3NT.

The result shows I was wrong.\u201d<br><strong>South: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s bad luck. 5 Diamonds is an excellent contract, we just get severly punished by this Club ruff. 3 No-Trumps is certainly the superior contract, especially in matchpoint pairs where you can score +660 instead of +600 with no risk of that kind of accident. But East\u2019s 3&#x2660; threw me off the rails.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North judged his cards well when he decided to double 2&#x2660; rather than overcall 2NT. He has no Ace that would help him rapidly establish nine tricks and he can\u2019t even duck a Spade lead if dummy has three small Spades or even Jack-third. He has no responsibility for the obtained result. South didn\u2019t see an alternative to his 5&#x2666; bid. There was, however, a solution. And he evoked that solution when he said that East\u2019s 3&#x2660;. prevented him from saying 3&#x2660; d\u2019Est l\u2019a emp\u00each\u00e9 de dire 3&#x2660; himself in order to ask for a Spade stopper. He admits that with his hand, the ideal contract is 3 No-Trumps if North has one stopper in Spades. There is a call that allows him to ask for it: Double. True, this Double shows a priori the minors, but it is above all the only call that you can use to say that you have some points, that your side is on the offense and that the first game contract you want to play is 3 No-Trumps. Over the Double, North fulfills his duty and bids 3NT, which makes. Without a Spade stopper, North would bid his lowest four-card (or five-card) suit and South could then bid the Diamond game, this time certainly the best contract when partner holds for example &#x2660;84 &#x2665;KQJ8 &#x2666;1082 &#x2663;AK94.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bid responsible for the accident 5&#x2666;.
