On the one hand, you could open with a forcing 2&#x2663; and then rebid 2&#x2665; when partner responds 2&#x2666;. On the other hand, opening 1&#x2665; offers more flexibility and the auction isn\u2019t likely to stop there because of your singleton Spade. In theory, semi-forcing or general forcing 2&#x2663; openings should be made with one-suiters rather than two-suiters. For this reason, I\u2019d prefer opening 1&#x2665; which leaves more space and allows a better description of your hand. But opening 2&#x2663; is also reasonable enough. Opening 1&#x2665; gives you 10 points while the choice of a strong 2&#x2663; only allows you to collect 6 points.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button is-style-link stk-block-expand__hide-button stk-block stk-56e7c18\" data-block-id=\"56e7c18\"><a aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">Close the solution<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-112a3ed\" data-block-id=\"112a3ed\"><style>.stk-112a3ed{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-expand stk-block-expand stk-block stk-48ae49d\" data-block-id=\"48ae49d\"><div class=\"stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-7378c30 stk-block-expand__short-text\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-block-id=\"7378c30\"><style>.stk-7378c30 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:20px !important}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-7378c30 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:20px !important}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>2- Your partner opens 3&#x2660;.

In addition to the likely holding of KQxxxxx in Spades, your partner probably holds a useful side card that will allow you to play the slam. The main question is that of the quality of your partner\u2019s trumps. To check that out, several ways are possible. The modern way is to use 4&#x2663; as RKCB, allowing the partnership to stop at 4&#x2660; if necessary. More conservative players use the classic RKCB at 4NT and then ask for the trump Queen following partner\u2019s most likely response of &#8220;one keycard&#8221;. Dinosaurs can also use a Josephine 5&#x2660;, asking partner to bid slam with two big honors in trumps (or maybe King\u0002Jack eighth, which is also possible). Take 10 points if you have initiated a verification process rather than shown a control (6 points) or signed off in 4&#x2660; (3 points).<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button is-style-link stk-block-expand__hide-button stk-block stk-28720a6\" data-block-id=\"28720a6\"><a aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">Close the solution<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-0560965\" data-block-id=\"0560965\"><style>.stk-0560965{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-expand stk-block-expand stk-block stk-0b55a9c\" data-block-id=\"0b55a9c\"><div class=\"stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-f1c65ec stk-block-expand__short-text\" aria-hidden=\"false\" data-block-id=\"f1c65ec\"><style>.stk-f1c65ec .stk-block-text__text{font-size:20px !important}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-f1c65ec .stk-block-text__text{font-size:20px !important}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>3- You open 1&#x2665;, lefty overcalls 2&#x2660;.

Your opponents obviously have points in Spades and your partner has made a negative Double for the minors. At this point, start with a Double to ask partner to show his longer minor and then ask him for Aces next! If you stop before slam, you have to quickly be treated by an expert for excessive pessimism. 10 points for Double, 5 points for the mysterious bid of 4&#x2660; which takes up too much space. 3 points for an early and hasty jump to slam (5NT or 6&#x2666;).

This ensures a fit in a minor, you just have to find out in which one. Start by bidding 3&#x2666; to show a game forcing hand with at least five Hearts and four Diamonds. If you hear an unenthusiastic response (3&#x2665; or 3NT), continue with 4&#x2663; to complete the description of your hand. A slam is largely playable as soon as your partner has either six Clubs to the King, or King-Queen fifth, or the Ace of Diamonds and five Clubs with a big honor. On the other hand, with the stiff Ace of Spades you should be weary of playing 3NT. Score 10 points if you planned to go on over 3NT.

The simplest bid is to make a Splinter of 3&#x2660; in order to show your Spade shortness, allowing your partner to judge the usefulness of his points. You can make slam with a very modest hand opposite like &#x2660;8765 &#x2665;Q42 &#x2666;J6 &#x2663;KQ32 KQ32 if your partner has no lost points in Spades. The problem with this bid is that it permanently buries the Diamonds, while 6 Diamonds could be the only making slam if partner has for example &#x2660;654 &#x2665;Q53 &#x2666;A1076 &#x2663;654. The 4-4 fit allows you to take more ruffs than the 5-3 fit, in which you\u2019ll lose two Club tricks. Therefore, the trial bid of 3&#x2666; rgives you 10 points while the Splinter of 3&#x2660; only gives you 6. For any sign off in game you\u2019ll get 3 points.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button is-style-link stk-block-expand__hide-button stk-block stk-14ef023\" data-block-id=\"14ef023\"><a aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">Close the solution<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-2443c6a\" data-block-id=\"2443c6a\"><style>.stk-2443c6a{height:20px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>6- You play 6 Hearts as South (none vul.):<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-fcb39a7\" data-block-id=\"fcb39a7\"><style>.stk-fcb39a7 .stk--block-align-fcb39a7{align-items:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk--block-align-fcb39a7 stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-fcb39a7-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-100a17a\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"100a17a\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-100a17a{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 33.3% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-100a17a-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-100a17a-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Diagram-Corrrection-1-EN-397x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95278\" style=\"width:auto;height:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-e90e7a9\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"e90e7a9\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-e90e7a9{flex:var(--stk-flex-grow,1) 1 66.7% !important}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-e90e7a9-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-e90e7a9-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/funbridge.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bids-correction-EN.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95279\" style=\"width:300px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>West leads the Spade 10.
