Have to play 2 more boards against eagles due to my mistake of selecting only 14 boards. However, I am allowed only to play a min of 4 boards in a challenge match. Solution? Set up a 4 board challenge and play the first 2 only? Have played all against Shuba and waiting for the result of the 2nd set.

In accepting 123 thanks

I badly need to hone my declarer skills so here goes: Nigel has very conveniently showed opps distribution that would give you some trouble i.e. spade 4-1 with Q offside and hearts 4-2. When you see the hands laid out then it becomes evident that you must not waste your J10♠early, as then East can gain 2 spade tricks. The queen and then the 9 ruffing ahead of dummy's 2. So take the Q♥; up to A♦ then small ♠ towards the Jack. If east has Q♠he probably does best to play low and dummy wins with the 10. Then ♥ to K and ruff a heart. If all follow you re home. If west turns up with stiff Q♠ you still make your contract so long as hearts 4-2. If this analysis turns out to better than half right, I still doubt if I would find this line at the table.

Initial pass might even have got us a plus score.

I think alert 2C and if asked say "happy to play in 2C undoubled". It could have been David Gold (or was it Townsend his partner) who gave this explanation at the table when I asked a few years ago.
