6th October – Board 15: North/South Vul. Dealer South.
What would – or did – you respond on that East hand if partner opens with a weak no-trump bid?

The above sequence was the one Nick and I had but I have to admit there was a certain amount of guesswork from both sides of the table. 2NT was a transfer to diamonds and 3C showed positive support, usually a top honour to three or better. Now East had an impossible rebid because although 3NT might still be the best game, to bid it with a singleton heart and with a known diamond fit opposite might be a bit risky. On the other hand 3S should show a spade suit…As it happens both games are likely to make but I find it hard to provide a convincing route to either.
