We were mere onlookers on this one. Keith & Liz bid this slam impeccably

- 4C is Roman Gerber and 4S asks for Kings -

a very economical way of investigating a minor slam.

On a diamond lead Keith very carefully got rid of his 2 diamond losers on a Spade

and a Heart before tackling the clubs. Quite right too.

The only way to play them he said modestly.

What happened at your table?

At our table East opened 3C and West bid 3NT. Looking at the scores it seems as though this
auction was the same at a lot of the other tables. From West's point of view  when partner opens
 3C he needs partner to hold a good solid club suit AND the ace of spades to commit to a
slam.Asking for aces will find out that the spade ace is indeed present but you still can't be sure
how good the club suit is eg if its Q 1087xxx do you want to be in 6C? ..definitely not.

This boils down to basic partnership agreement on how good your suit should be when you
pre-empt...  ermmm I don't think I have that agreement..does anyone ?..runnerjohn
