We were N-S and bid this one uncontested:
P - 1C [16+ any];
1N [8-10, 5+H] - 2S [natural];
4C [splinter raise; usually 4531 or 4621] - 4N
5C [one keycard] - 6S (all pass)
Making 7 easily on the trump finesse and hearts coming home. Only three of 22 pairs bid this 26 HCP slam.

This time we had opponents to deal with:
(1D) X (1H) 2C;
(2D) 3C (3D) 5C (all pass)
With trumps breaking 2-1 and spades setting up for a heart pitch, 5C was easy. [5D is a maker if they guess trumps correctly.]

Board 11 is a terrific example of why I believe that you have to interfere over a strong 1 club opener whenever possible. With the East cards, I bid 1 NT to show the minors and partner will jump to 3 (or better yet 4) clubs, messing up communication before you even begin to find the slam.
This is so cool. Thank you so much for sharing. click here
