nt|danilo1: In open room East opened bidding |pg||
nt|hawe45:  Clever East - not to keep N/S out of "their" suit|pg||
nt|hawe45:  - yes, in OR with 1 @H, quite normal|pg||
nt|hawe45:  N/S can hardly win 1 @H...|pg||
nt|danilo1: not sure how limited 2NT is .. but thk (if possible) North should pass 2NT|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|pc|dQ|pc|d2|nt|hawe45:  Seems strange to bid on after 2 NT|pg||
pc|d6|nt|400 volt: i'm not sure if you can make 4@H here because you loose your trump control|pg||
nt|400 volt: if opps play every time on lead @S, you cannot make 4@H I think|pg||
nt|danilo1: at least, he did not bid 4 - thay could be Dbled :)|pg||
pc|dA|pg||
nt|hawe45:  Seems to be one down, even with right @C-view - SouthÂ´s @S-holding is a hard opponent|pg||

nt|blum1956: If Badger succeeds in eliminating another grandmaster team (Zimmermann) that will be a great sensation|pg||
nt|hawe45:  I think, that East has a double of 3 @H. IF N/S can make 3 @H with that @H-holding by East, they would have bid (at least) 4...|pg||

nt|400 volt: Tx all, I have to leave - Even it is a tie now :(|pg||
nt|hawe45:  By - board 24 seems to decide the matck|pg||
mb|p|nt|danilo1: whatever West bids now will work (except 5@C)|pg||
nt|psyck: 5@d is hardly a 32% game, but the cards are fav|pg||
nt|blum1956: Probably Cronier's double meant a spade 4-card, so Zimmermann's double  suggests a choice|pg||
nt|danilo1: may be kind of support ... for me surely not obvious bid with clear minimum|pg||
mb|4S|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|blum1956: 5@d easy as the cards lie, 4@s more challenging |pg||

nt|danilo1: @SQ and @D to K ... after @D 2-2 ... @S to A ... and @D|pg||
nt|psyck: so he may decide to play for @d break after a bit of a think|pg||
nt|blum1956: If the declarer knew that diamonds are 2-2 he shold just give up a spade trick now. But spades may lie 3-3 while diamonds 3-1.|pg||
