Slam bidding and partnership understanding
This is board 12 from Wednesday 21 May 2025 as discussed on the results page. Dealer is West and passes. North has a healthy hand with plenty of Clubs and opens "1 club." East passes, and the bid comes round to South. With South holding 15 HCP, it is already clear to them that this contract must achieve a game bid at the very least. But is there more available should North have a strong hand? South responds "1 Spade" and awaits North's rebid. North now shows their strong hand and jump raises to "3 Clubs" showing 16+HCP and a minimum 6 card suit. How should South continue the bidding?

With North promising 16+ HCP and a 6 card Club suit, South can assess what likely level this contract could be played at. A combined point count of 31+ HCP and a 9 (+) card suit in clubs, a bid of "4 NT" - asking for aces - should ensue. With all Aces accounted for in their 2 hands, a bid of 6 Clubs finishes the bidding, and when played the contract makes "plus 1" - for a score of 1390!
As an alternative, North could rebid "2 Hearts" instead of the "3 Clubs" bid. This "2 Hearts" is a "reverse bid" (if you dont know what a reverse bid is, see me later) which shows 16+ HCP and 5 (+) Clubs AND 4 (+) cards in Hearts. With this rebid from North, South is more keen to play in No Trumps at the 6 level. A very tasty result making all 13 tricks for a score of 1470!
When partner jump-raises their opening suit the are promising 16+ HCP and 6 (or a very good 5) card suit
