This was a fun match actually, as i recall. Our team managed to win the Dutch team in the youngsters, quite the hype, not to mention other factors that were happening there. I think i recall this hand as well, Polak just driving to a grand slam. The boards i do recall were 7 and 13.
On board 7, they pushed up to a grand slam, after 2♠-X(or hearts)-5♠, and were missing ace of diamonds which they didnt suspect.
On board 13, we had misunderstanding with pard on 4th round of biding, where i thought my bid promised a spade fit, while he took it as a spade control. After a while we ended up in 6♥, doubled and i made it. Them being unhappy about our explanations called director, and i gave a weblink to Dan Neils system page for our system for him to check, turns out partner was right
feeling lucky punk? 31HCP!!!

Board 14 of round J20 in the Junior Europeans was rather spectacular. Partner has shown very little in values (0-4 with 0 controls) and at least 3 card support. What do you think here?
IMPs scoring btw.

I like a prior poster's point about 5N, with the idea that hearts will play better, perhaps, but I hate the idea of introducing clubs - one of the biggest things I have going for me is that they don't know that they have to keep their 4 clubs to the T instead of 4 hearts to the J or 4 diamonds to the Q.
So I think 5N is a great idea, with the plan of forcing to 7.
