Registered charity number 1165095

11th July 2023
Board 4

West - 3 choices, pass, 2 or 3 weak or my preference 1 that meets the rule of 20 (HCPs + length of two longest suits) also remember if 6/4 bid more!!

If West opens 1, North passes

Then West has a choice of bid 1 or if you bid a jump to 2  as a weak 6 card suit, rather than stong 6 card suit.

Over 1 south can choose between 2 michaels showing 5+♠ s and 5+ in an unspecified minor or 2♠ (if 2shows ♠s and ♦s (top 2 unbid suits) or 2♣ with the plan to bid ♠s to show hand shape perfectly.

Wests hand is looking good, so can bid 3 

North with 9HCPs and 3 card support will bid 3♠ 

East with 6 cards will bid 4 s 

South never showed ♣s (6♣  makes) even though vulnerable will bid 4♠ s probably over pass. 

4 -2 is a good result for EW if  N/S do not bid to game.
 

Alternative
Over 1♦-p-1♥ -2♣
3-4♣-4
then south can bid 4♠ to show shape perfectly.
North will see a probable double fit (though Souths 4♠ may be only 4). For that reason North will probably bid 5♣. Few will find a route to 6♣.
