Registered charity number 1165095

22nd August 2023

East has a standard 3 pre-empt.

West can see a slam or even a grand slam (if partner has A♣ and KQ s)

So bids 4NT RKCB.

How does east show the void ♣ suit ?

If no agreement you could show the void as an Ace and bid 5♠s showing 2 keycards and the Q of trumps.

If you have the agreement on how to show voids.

 

Responder's Bids Meaning
5NT An even # of key cards and a void somewhere.
6 An odd # of key cards and:
  • A club void if clubs aren't trumps, or
  • A void in any other suit if clubs are trumps
6 An odd # of key cards and:
  • A diamond void if hearts or spades are trumps, or
  • A void in hearts or spades, if diamonds are trumps
6 An odd # of key cards and:
  • A heart void if spades are trumps, or
  • A spade void if hearts are trumps

 

So in this case 6♣ would show one key card and a void in ♣ s.

In both cases West can bid 6 s.
