The Unusual 2NT by West shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance clubs and hearts.}
[Result ""]
{

N/S have the majority of the HCPs (25), so they might expect to defeat the 3\H
contract. However, if declarer ruffs a round of clubs in the East hand before
drawing trumps, there are five tricks available from trumps and another four
from clubs for a total of 9 tricks.

If N/S bid 4\D it will will go one down due to the 5-0 split in diamonds, but
it turns out to be a good sacrifice!}

Not an easy hand to play, but the contract can be made if declarer leads hearts
from South and takes a finesse by playing 10\H from North.}

The Unusual 2NT by West shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance clubs and diamonds.}
[Result ""]
{

Both pairs have 20 HCPs each. However, on this hand N/S can make 5\S or 5\H and
E/W can make 5\D. E/W do have a good sacrifice with 6\D but will probably not
bid it due to the unfavourable vulnerability.}

The Unusual 2NT by North shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance diamonds and hearts.}
[Result ""]
{

Ten tricks are possible by ruffing a round of clubs in the South hand and then
leading a small heart towards North's \HK.\n
From the bidding it is almost certain that West has \SK, so nothing can be
gained by trying the finesse.\n
When trumps have been cleared, the diamond suit is good for five tricks because
\DQ is in a doubleton in East's hand.}

The Unusual 2NT by East shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance clubs and diamonds.}
[Result ""]
{

To make this contract it may well be necessary to ruff diamonds twice in the
West hand, so start by cashing \CA and then lead \D5 towards East's diamonds.
Ruff a diamond return and note that \DK and \DQ have been played so that all of
East's remaining diamonds are now good.\n
Clear the remaining two trumps and lose just two tricks to \CK and \HA.}

The Unusual 2NT by South shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance clubs and diamonds.}
[Result ""]
{

If East leads \HK it is possible to make 12 tricks by discarding South's \S8 on
North's \HA. After clearing trumps in three rounds play \CA and then lose a
club trick. Use North's last diamond to ruff a third round of clubs and then
the remainder of South's hand will be winners.}
