Mark:
When E opens 2NT W knows the combined HCP for the
partnership is 36 or 37 points. W was on the right track to make sure that the
potentially missing 4 points aren't in the form of an ace. When E responds
4NT (3 aces) to the Gerber convention (Nice bid!) W can bid 5 clubs to be sure
that all kings are accounted for. With the solid diamond suit, you can be
almost sure that 13 tricks are there for the taking or might need a bit of good
play and card reading to make 7. W had the right idea but lost confidence at
the last moment. 7NT isn't guaranteed, but so very likely. There aren't many
opportunities to bid and make a grand slam, sso I'd say go for it!
