On the OP hand, we would have found clubs via opener's 3♠ response to the 3♥ relay, and now responder could keycard if he chose and then play 6♣, having discovered 2 keys with both Queens, and if using kickback (4♠), would get a 5♠ response and could now bid 5N to see if partner has a side K, which would lead to a good grand...and, since opener doesn't, can reach 6♣: the auction:

1♥ 2N
3♦ 3♥
3♠ 4♠
5♠ 5N
6♣

Seems straightforward to me.


The residue (♠/♦) can be 1-3, 2-2, 3-1, 1-2, 2-1, 3-0, 0-3. On the OP hand, if partner has a side ♦K, how good the grand is?
Never growl at your partner. You never know what fine player is watching and would have asked you to play.

I thought this was a really hard one, would think many nonexperts or nonwc will miss 6c.


28 hcp, no stiff or voids, 9 card h fit.
