Scoring: IMP


Flight A Regional KO. The auction at one table:

1♣-2♥-2♠-P
4♥-P-4♠-all pass.

+680.

Opener expects to lose a number of IMP's on this hand because his opponents are top of the top flight in the country/world and surely will bid this slam. 4♠ as a signoff with that hand seems hopeless.

However, when the hand was compared, this hand resulted in a huge gain.

Guess why? You can ask any questions that you want, although I'll probably keep the other team secret out of respect.

Maybe, but I found this one fairly comical, on the one hand, but fairly intellkectually challenging on the other. Plus, it will bring up a possible sequence undiscussed by some people and a horrible result. Perhaps as a shortcut, I'll hide the final resuylt, so you can predict how:

I'm surprised no one figured this out, or at least no one posted an answer.

South opened a precision 2♣.

North bid 3♥, systemically a transfer and GF.

South was sure that 4♥ would be understood as showing shortness as a super-accept of spades.

North was sure that 4♥ showed 5♥/6♣.
