3-Level Opening Bids - 1992 Olympic Games
France-USA Finals (251 - 171) (cont'd)
-- Board 80. Dealer is West. EW vulnerable.
You are vulnerable. Partner is dealer and opens with 3 §. You have: ª 10 9 8 x © K 10 x ¨ A Q 8 x § A x. If opponent interferes: all the better for you. If op passes you have to bid 3NT because you can see a total pts. 13 + 11 = 24 with support for Clubs and likely (arresto?) in the other suits. You will go down for the likely initial five Spade tricks. Please note that you could hold 5 § and even 6 § not bid. 1NT fell on a grave mistake.
