2024 JANUARY MSC

<< < (2/3) > >>

Only E and G the same as Jock.

PROBLEM A: Pass, sure an underbid but other options lack appeal.
PROBLEM B: 4 Hearts, considered 3NT but both options give up on slam.
PROBLEM C: 3 Diamonds, can always bid 4H next time.
PROBLEM D: (c1), nothing looks particularly savoury.
PROBLEM E: 3 Spades, would accept 3D at IMPs.
PROBLEM F: 3 Diamonds, at least this is forcing, preparatory for settling for 3NT.
PROBLEM G: 4 Clubs, middle of the road action?
PROBLEM H: Spade 9, the unbid suit but a gambling club might strike gold.

Anyone know who's running the IAC club now that Sanja seems to be full-time
employed by BBO? Can't do a session next week because of undergoing cataract
surgery - and didn't run a play & discuss session last month because of being
out of town. (Email: hoki@orcon.net.nz .)

PROBLEM A: Double
PROBLEM B: 4 Notrump - taking the hint
PROBLEM C: 4 Diamonds - taking the hint
PROBLEM D: (a) - decided the hand isn't THAT great. so went low road
PROBLEM E: 3 Diamonds - low road again, now I think I'm messing up. not like me to go too low road
PROBLEM F: 4 Diamonds - only hesitation is wondering if we already know clubs aren't covered.
PROBLEM G: Pass
PROBLEM H: Heart 10 - I like to lead through a responded major, probably only showing 4, that their partner didn't agree with. might be the weak suit.

HELP!   My early thinking for problems D and E  seem to have been logged as the official  guesses.  At the last minute changes of mind earn a whopping 170 points to the good--unlike most every other month
