North opens 1 ♦. South is too weak to bid
clubs, but can bid 1S. North reverses and
South bids the Lebensohl 2N puppet to 3 ♣
to show weakness. North has minimum
reverse values and a tolerance for clubs so
North accepts the puppet to 3C. South
passes to play 3C.

East has the right shape to reverse, but is not strong enough.
East has to plan the auction and either open 1C or
open 1D. North is strong enough to reverse as responder
and can force to game.

North knows East is short in spades so a trump lead
is the best defense.

South is strong enough to reverse and has the
right shape. But it is not a reverse to rebid 1S
after respondent's 1H bid. The only way to show
the strong values in South's hand is to make a
game forcing jump shift. North's bid of 3S is a mild
slam try, SLOW ARRIVAL shows extras. South
checks for keycards and missing the trump Q
bids 6S. Don't finesse spades. Ruff two
clubs.

Played in the 2001World Bridge Championships
most pairs played 4S making 5. Slam was bid and
made by Italy; ruffing the diamond lead, finessing
hearts, returning to hand with another diamond ruff,
trump a third heart with the AS and finesse spades
to the 9S. Extra credit to any pair bidding and making
6S.

North elects to open 1C because of the doubleton
spade and the powerful two suiter, difficult to
show after a 2C opening. South shows a six
bagger GF hand by a jump rebid of 3S. North
checks for keycards and tries 6N. 7C can be made
on a squeeze play in diamonds and spades.
Extra credit if you bid and make 7C.

East reverses. West raises the second suit to
3H showing a slam interest (and confirming
5 spades). East is missing one keycard, checks
for the trump Q and without the Q, stops at 5H.
