Norway has a strong tradition in Youth bridge and lay third going into their Round 6 match against Turkey in the U26 competition. After two flat boards, the first swing came on this board. You might imagine, looking at the two The Open Room of the match contracts, that the swing could have been a major one – not so. Kristoffer Hegge opened the South hand and that got his side an uncontested auction. The 1NT []{} response went up to 12 HCP but was not forcing Board 3. Dealer South. E/W Vul. but, of course, Hegge introduced his second suit and [ 10 8 7 now Tor Eivind Grude jumped to 3].

Aydin played king then a second { K 8 7 6 2 spade but Hegge could ruff and draw trumps then } K 4 cash the diamonds and had nine tricks for +140. Things were rather different in the other room, West North East South where Ataman Aydogdu did not see an opening Aydin Grude Tukenmez Hegge bid in the South cards and it was Espen Flaatt, – – – 1] East, who kicked off the bidding with 1[.
