PeterAlan Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 There was the following rather curious hand in a Swiss Teams event today. I'll give the auction first, but since the diagram editor seems to be a bit picky about what one can create it'll have to be in two halves. It started [hv=d=w&v=e&b=16&a=2c2hp3c3sp4sdpprp]133|100[/hv]and continued[hv=d=w&v=e&b=16&a=p4hdp4sppdpprppp]133|100[/hv]By way of comment:W's 2♣ was Benji - 8+ playing tricks in some suit or 23+ balancedE's 4♠ and first XX were expressions of confidence in partnerafter N's insufficient 4♥ E seemed to think it might be worth offering W an extra optionS's second X was presumably based on a conviction that her first X couldn't have been a misjudgmentE's final XX seems to have been based on the view that when partner bid 4♠ she knew what she was doing and was more likely to have been right than SThe hands were as follows: N led away from the ♥K; W won perforce, crossed to dummy's ♦Q, and played ♠10; when S didn't cover and W ran it that was 12 tricks for a rather improbable +1880.[hv=pc=n&s=skj4hj4dt6cak9543&w=saq7632haqdakj2cj&n=s8hk98732d9743c86&e=st95ht65dq85cqt72]399|300[/hv]Has anyone else had an auction where the same redoubled contract has been bid twice? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nice story! When I saw the title I assumed this was going to be a contract reached at two different tables on the same hand, not twice by the same table on the same hand...

Cyberyeti Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not had anything like this, but I have had the unopposed auction 1♠-1♦-1♥-1♠ where you end the auction with 1♠ and are not the declarer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinksy Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 So does that make it 800 or 1600 for each overtrick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
