mb|2D|nt|mariner1: black suit slam here|pg||
nt|newmoon: didn't bank on @Cs 3-3 there|pg||
nt|ndemirev: in retrospect it might have been right to lead 2nd @C after his K won |pg||
mb|d|nt|ndemirev: that would have made it on both lines|pg||
nt|ndemirev: and N could have falscarded by winning the A ! :) |pg||
nt|mariner1: that 2@d call might actually help to bid this slam|pg||
mb|3D|an|he could have asked for a club lead|mb|4D|nt|csimon: 6nt seems easy to bid after this start|pg||
mb|p|nt|mariner1: yes 6N is a good bet too|pg||

nt|ndemirev: his hand is too good |pg||

nt|ndemirev: give pd 3A for his dbl and it's a slam (almost) |pg||
nt|newmoon: hello Carol!   :)     long time...|pg||
nt|ndemirev: the plan must have been to correct 4H to 4S showing that hand|pg||

nt|mittmouse: he can bid 4nt straight bwd since no suit agreed|pg||
nt|mariner1: hi george|pg||
nt|ndemirev: he could try 5@C ?! - shich would show good hand (i think ) |pg||
nt|newmoon: and if he had a 15-count with @DAQx ?|pg||
nt|csimon: welcome George :)|pg||
nt|newmoon: not natural ?|pg||
nt|csimon: a slow 4NT is BWD|pg||
nt|ndemirev: other option was 5D|pg||
nt|ndemirev: then 6@C |pg||
nt|mariner1: this can't be natural as W did not bid 2N or 3N over 2@d (I think)|pg||

nt|mariner1: well no @h lead allows this|pg||
nt|mariner1: I think 5@d would have been pick one and try slam |pg||
nt|csimon: over dbl, Garner can correct to 7@s and Holman has to guess the lead|pg||
nt|ndemirev: better not dbl |pg||
mb|p|mb|7H|nt|ndemirev: but S shold guess the right lead anyhow |pg||
mb|p|nt|mariner1: well now it needs to be 7@s |pg||
nt|mariner1: 7@h is really bad|pg||
nt|newmoon: Cope may x for non-@D lead in 7@S|pg||
nt|csimon: well Holman will definitely be on lead|pg||
nt|ndemirev: this might be a success story |pg||
nt|mariner1: does not matter if in 7@h|pg||
nt|csimon: unless Weinstein tries 7NT (unwisely)|pg||
mb|p|nt|ndemirev: there was apparent confusion of the 4nt call|pg||
nt|csimon: why pass?|pg||
nt|Walddk4: I would pass 7@H|pg||
nt|csimon: why Roland?|pg||
mb|p|nt|mariner1: 7@h sounds like his @h are longer than @s|pg||
nt|csimon: with Weinstein's hand?|pg||
nt|Walddk4: You double 7@H, East pulls to 7@S and your partner is on lead|pg||
nt|newmoon: 5@S, then 7@H and u pass 7@H, Roland?    :)|pg||
nt|csimon: I agree Cope should pass|pg||
