Hand Question 16
Another bid of opps suit
Quite a hand, and only two boards after the previous. Pass from E, 1D from S, 1H from W, 1S from me (N); I think E passed, but may have pushed with 2H; 3D from S (obviously stronger if E has passed), pass, 3H from me, and this time partner can bid 3NT. made all 13 as no H lead. I guess it's for me to pursue the slam.
Bernard's Answer
This one is interesting because of course you have a great spade fit and will find evaluation for the slam much easier in spades, but 6S by N is no good! Perhaps South can take control once spades are agreed and take the contract back to 6NT later - counting at least 5 spades, 6 diamonds and CA in 6NT.
