2010 BEST BID HAND OF THE YEAR Rosenberg did very well not to jump to four spades over three diamonds.

West Australian BC & George You are stuck with AQ of clubs, with a trump and a losing spade in dummy. Now West finally ruffs Wealth Eclectic Pairs Round 4 the club and you are sunk! By Richard Fox

No challenge here for NS if you find the laydown diamond slam, but one pair ended up in hearts. Jan Kochmanski, James Steer, Noelene Law (NPC), Stella Steer and Andrew Swider 1S from East, X from South, West passed and North with an unenviable dilemma bid 2H. South banked on 4-card support and ignored diamonds for better pair score. How do you make 6H on the obvious spade lead? It needs careful timing: the spade, AK of trumps, KD, to QC and run diamonds. If West ruffs at the first opportunity and plays a spade, ruff in South and use diamonds as “trump substitutes”, overruffing whenever West’s trump appears. If West ruffs a later diamonds, don’t overruff! Cassie Morin, Jill Del Piccolo, Cathy Hood, Kate Don’t miss the early club finesse. If you don’t Smith, Elizabeth McNeill, Doreen Jones and West ruffs the third diamond, forces you to ruff a Noelene Law (NPC) spade, and declines to ruff any of the diamonds.
