2nd March– Board 20. Game All.
Dealer West.
South would no doubt be
worried at the prospect of defeating 4S on the hand shown below and might
decide that it would be more prudent to bid on. Personally I would have tried
5C and been wrong – again!

is Jacoby of course and with his minimum type opening West would bid 4S, fast
arrival, showing a hand not suitable for a slam. North must have wondered what
was going on and thought Christmas had come early and poor South must have
looked at his utterly defenceless hand and shuddered, Still it is right to pass
and collect 200 as it happens although I just know I would have run to 5C and
concede 200 the other way.
