I was going to give a explanation for each return but you people better do that yourselves. Your partner is kinda 'touched', ergo the bidding; however it might not be all wrong or crazy, you just don't know.

Scoring: IMP


Bidding was:

1♣ Pass 1♦ pass
3♣ 3♥ 6♣ All Pass

Your Partner leads a small heart (♥5) to your King (♥K), What do you return? How do you expect to defeat this contract?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

♦ seems too obvious. Can't wait for reasons for other plays. The only contrary arguments I can dream up are --

1. If pd not void in ♦ then presumably the ♥ lead would be 4th best. That's barely possible but depends on spots we are not told.

2. Is Qx, xx, AQ, AQ1098xx a 3♣ bid? If so, then maybe there's a case that the ♦ return tips a trump position declarer was about to get wrong.

I think I can definitively say that anything but a diamond is nullo.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
