Grand Slam 7S

TomH
Board 5 from last Wed 4th March

Not often can a grand slam be bid with confidence.

Board 5 from last Wed, should have had all pairs bidding  6S  if not  7S.

Every West should open  2C  and should get a positive reply of  2S.  5 card suit and 8 plus points.

Ace ask should get a zero reply and a King ask should get a "2" reply.  Namely  K spades and  K hearts.

West now knows there are no losers in Spades,  no losers in Diamonds.  This is  10 tricks.

Two more in Clubs  is  12 tricks.

As West has a void in Hearts,  a heart ruff will bring in  13 tricks.

Could you or your partner bid  6S  or  7S.  You have all the tools to do so.
