If this fails it is quite quite likely opponents can make 4H: don't make it easy for to get there. With Hand B you have a misfit, which dictates caution. You would have responded to a 1S opening bid with 1NT, but the 1S ovjrcall shows a stronger suit and perhaps a weakjt hand. If you bid 1NT communications in the play will bj awkward. A 1NT response to a 1S ovjrcall shows 9-12 points, so pass. ——————————————————————————————————2/4—— Chess 478 Fun & Games 450 TELETEXT BRIDGE BY ELENA JERONIMIDIS EDITOR OF BRIDGE PLUS Your Life Fun & Games Digitiser GroovesP479 Teletext 479 Dec30 20:44:27 —————————— —— BRIDGE PLAY TECHNIQUE - Derek Remington S A K 10 4 S J 8 3 2 H J 9 3 W E H Void D J 6 S D A K Q 10 3 2 C A 10 5 3 C Q 6 2 West North East South 1NT NO 2C NO 2S NO 6S End The HA lead is ruffed.
