Scoring: IMP


An interesting double-dummy question came up during a swiss team match. The auction on this hand was:

1♥ - 1NT - 2♣! - P
2♥ - P - P - X
All Pass

The 2♣ bid was artificial, showing a single-suited hand; opener rejected the puppet to bid 2♥ which was doubled by east.

Should 2♥X make or go down? Would you prefer to play or defend on this hand?

defend: it is double-dummy we are speaking about, isn't it?

Defend. Not sure this is realistic in real life.
