South’s 1NT shows 6-9 HCPs and denies four spades.  North’s 3\S rebid shows
17-18 HCPs and a 6-card spade suit.The 3\S bid is not forcing, but very
encouraging.  South's 2-card spade suit and 8 HCPs is worth a raise to 4\S.

Top of a sequence \DQ is the opening lead.

Declarer uses \DA to win the first trick. \C9 to \CK to dummy. \n
Try the spade finesse by leading \SJ. East’s \SQ takes the trick. 

Hopefully West can signal for a heart.

If East leads hearts declarer will be held to 10 tricks, otherwise declarer can
make 11 tricks discarding a heart loser on dummy’s \D10.

East's 1\H opening is absolute minimum.

When forced to re-bid, the only option is 2\H limiting the hand to a maximum
14HCPs and hinting at no biddable second suit and therefore a six-card heart
suit.

With only 12HCP, West may consider passing, but could bid 2NT.

East doesn't have HCPs to leave 2NT and so bids the hearts a third time
emaphasing one suit and minimum HCPS.}
[Result ""]
{

East’s 1\H is a “rule of 20” opening. West’s 2\D response shows 10+ HCPs and
four or more diamonds. East rebids 2\H showing 11-14 HCPs and five hearts. 

West rebids 2NT showing 11-12 HCPs. East’s hearts are not good enough to bid
again, so passing is best option.

With only a singleton declarer does best to avoid hearts, but can make the
contract by using dummy’s \CA and \CQ as entries to try a diamond finesse
twice, winning the second attempt to make 8 tricks: 3 in \D, 3 in \C, \HA, \HK.

South has a bare minimum opening of 1\C. 

North's change of suit reply forces a re-bid from South.

South can only re-bid the clubs at the two level to show a minimum opening hand
and no other biddable suit, showing almost certainly six-card suit.

With only 9HCPs, North passes.

The contract is makeable and East/West have had no chance to find their viable
spade contract.}
[Result ""]
{

The top trumps are missing but don't delay clearing trumps. The defence may win
more tricks by trumping side suits.

When trumps are cleared, drive out the A\H.

Declarer should just make the contract by winning four tricks in clubs, one in
diamonds, one in hearts, and two in spades.}

West has a 1\H opening based on the Rule of 20.

East responds with change of suit to 1\S forcing a re-bed from West.

West can show four-card support, and a minimum values opening hand by raising
the responder's suit. 

Even though this is "over the Barrier" it does indicate a strong hand because
it does not introduce a new suit.

East knows there is a double fit, and gives his hand a little boost and raises
to game.}
[Result ""]
{

West has a “rule of 20” 1\H opening bid. 

South's double shows an opening quality hand able to support the two unbid
minors.

West single raise of spades shows four or more in the suit and a minimum
opening hand.

North has few HCPs but a six-card diamond suit, worth a free response to
partner's double. This helps partner with a choice of lead.

With a double fit in hearts and spades, East should bid the 4\S game.

Two tricks must be lost to \SK and \CA, but declarer should make 11 tricks when
\HQ drops on the second round of hearts.

South must cash \CA immediately after winning \SK to prevent declarer making 12
tricks.

North/South have two Aces and the \HK is in the wrong hand for declarer. The
defence also have the K\C and the chance to "trap" the Q\C. Everything is wrong

{

South opens 1\D on Rule of 20. North change of suit shows 6+ HCPs and 4+ hearts
and is forcing. 

East makes a well justified spade overcall. 

Giving value to the singleton spade, South repeats the diamonds at the two
level to show minimum opening hand.  

West has just enough to advance spades. 

North raises 4\D on seven losers, or just to compete.

South values the singleton spade and strength in dummy's hearts 5\D.

West leads K\S as the defenders suit. This gives one trick and later they will
win K\C. 

Contract making.
