The correct opening bid with amassive nine-card suit has beena subject of discussion amongexperts for most of the lastcentury. The debate rages every10 years or so when someoneactually holds such a suit.This hand was dealt during animportant team competition earlierthis year.At one table, South opened onediamond. A highly competitiveauction ensued, leaving South witha difficult high-level decision atthe end. Partner’s double of fivespades was a clear warning thata six-diamond bid might not besuccessful, but South’s decision tobid on was reasonable. A little luckand an easy 12 tricks might beavailable. The only luck availablefor South today was bad luck, andhe had to guess extremely well togo only one down.At the other table, the Southplayer decided that he wasalways going to compete to thesix-level with this hand, so whynot put maximum pressure onthe opponents. He opened thebidding with six diamonds! West,under immense pressure, madethe reasonable decision to bidsix spades. South doubled whenthe auction came back around tohim and six spades was defeatedby two tricks. This earned a veryuseful gain for his team.We can’t wait for this issue tocome up again in another 10years or so.
