1♣-1♠
2N (GF unbal)- 3♥ (90%+ of hands bid 3♣, this shows the big 2 suiter, although not this big)
4♣-4♥(probably 6-6)
5♣
And I suspect there we rest
The lunatic is on the graass

No imposing clubs as trumps on GiB, who trotted out thepossum's favourite bid in protest.
Yes I could have done better.

7♠X-6 did not do well, 6♣-1 was so-so. Cyberyeti's 5♣ would have been a near top.
Amusingly, one was in 3NT which makes +2 on any lead, with West sweating profusely.
Such is bridge.

They have to find a cracking lead to beat 6♣, I think you will make it relatively often

The ♠K lead lets 6♣ make easily. In fact, only a club lead beats it.
If you open 2♣ I think the rebid should be 4♣, setting trumps.

Hi,
#1 I also think 4C should set trumps, but ...
#2 I can understand, that 4NT was interpreted as RKCB for spades, but
correcting 7C to 7S is ...
With kind regards
Marlowe

K♠ you take the ace and subsequently make 7 on the ruffing diamond finesse.
So you could score 440 to beat the 430s

Bottom board, I scored 920

It just occurred to me that we could with minor adjustments be in real fantasy land 6♣(S)
South hand unaltered
N hand altered only that his club singleton is the J
W on lead with KQJ, Axx, K109x, Qxx
Now the only card in his hand that beats 6♣ is Q♣, good luck finding that

So I thought too, but the robot hears his own drum (and not necessarily what he explains either).
Hoping for clarification in the ten year old back of an envelope system notes is futile, whatever membership plan you choose.

Yes you're right of course. Not sure why some went down then.
