I find at very curious how many posts you got with the comment how useless this thread is. I cannot understand why somebody bothers to write this.
It is not that I disagree, but when I find something annoying or boring or waste of space, I simply ignore this thread.

The second curiosity is that you are close to make a slam opposite a near yarb with 24 HCPs.

And the third curisity was that south well judged, that slam would need a fourth trump in his hand.
I think with
♠ 1086
♥ 652
♦ T964
♣ 976
he had envisoned the power of his hand and bid the laydown slam.

Nice judgement. Thanks for sharing this gem. :)

Besides: I think that opening this hand with 1 Diamond is to take a good idea a little too far. If you need just a good fitting yarb. to make a slam, you should take another opening.
And I doubt that many experts will open this hand with 1 Diamond. Well Fantunes will...
Kind Regards

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
