27th July – Board 1: Love All. Dealer North.
Fit jumps are really
voguish at the moment and in its simplest form it just means that when partner
makes an unexpected jump in a new suit after originally passing he is
announcing a fit with partner and good values in the suit he is jumping in.
Dead clever.

So
here 3D announces a big fit in hearts and a good diamond suit and the rebid
over the 4C cue shows something exceptional making it easy for South to bid the
slam. But have you noticed something? If East opens 2S, weak, (and why not?)
then South would presumably double and West would barrage with a 4S bid.
Really, really difficult to bid the slam now I would suggest.
