  • Do you agree with the 1S bid? We play it as forcing if responder had his 1st bid.
  • Do you agree with the 4S bid? The K is certainly worth an ace.
  • Should N take another bid? How should the auction proceed?
  • If you play that N should rebid 2NT how do you find the fit?


Beg your pardon,I think this problem is very easy and not suitable for Expert-Class Bridge.

1-I never agree with 1,it was underbid,Rebid 1 showed a unbalanced hand and denied low limited hand with balance if play walsh style.2nt can show a strong limited hand,and describe strong hand clearly with18-19hcp .
2-I don't like that style due to waste of space.
3-4-:I prefer wolff signoff convention,very easier to resolve this sort of problems.
1--1
2nt--3
3--4
4--5
6--all pass

3=checkback stayman with game force
3=I have 4 card
4=cuebid with slammish
4=cuebid with slammish
5=trump quality ask bid

I never read sherlock holmes, even less in english, but this is my translation to english of someting I have heard in spannish atributted to his character. Translating a translation migt have altered the meaning.

It was Sherlock Holmes, and the meaning didn't change when you translated it. The original quote is "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Yeah, pretty ashamed that I failed to recognise that quote. When I was 10 I spent every spare moment I had reading and re-reading the Holmes short stories before I became obsessed with Lord of the Rings. Perhaps it's time for a repeat reading of both.
