This
deal is from a Hubert Phillips match
You
respond two clubs, game forcing, to
partner's one spade opening and when he
rebids hearts you show three card spade
support with two spades.
Partner
jumps to five diamonds, showing a void
diamond asking for key cards outside of
diamonds. You dutifully show one and
then partner bids six diamonds asking for
extras. Do you bid the grand slam or
not?
Scroll
down for solution.
Partner
must have a huge major two suiter to be
bidding like this with no club values.
Your doubleton heart and spade jack are
magic cards, partner should be able to ruff
the third round of hearts safely with the
spade jack and the minor suit aces and kings
will take care of any club losers.
His
hand was
AKQ1082,
AKQ9, void, 1087.
