Remember
that it’s a good idea to play a 2NT rebid as game forcing after partner has
responded at the two-level so here it’s just a question of whether West should
bother to try for the heart game in case his partner has five in that suit. I
know that I wouldn’t but it’s hard to say and as usual I would be wrong! 3NT
has ten tricks on top and no more after a spade lead but eleven tricks in
hearts due to the favourable position of the knave.
