This
deal is from a congress in Australia
After
South opened two hearts showing five hearts
and four plus in a minor with less than
opening values, partner bid three hearts
asking for a heart stop for three
notrump. You dutifully show your heart
stop by bidding three notrump. Partner
now jumps to six spades. What do you
bid?
Scroll
down for solution.
Partner
clearly has enough for six spades in his own
hand, yet has chosen to reach it via a
circuitous route, what is he trying to ask
for? Barry Myers produced this clever
sequence to show a heart loser, he wants you
to bid the grand with the heart ace, but not
if your heart holding is, say, KQxx.
His
hand was AKQJ10xx, x, void, AKQxx
