Rich:
North
opens one spade. South bids two hearts, game-forcing with five or more hearts.
North jump rebids to three spades, forcing and showing a spade suit that will
be good as trump opposite a small singleton.
South
should now realize he has strong slam potential. Qx of spades is excellent
support on this auction. Plus South has excellent controls for slam: AK of
Clubs and A of hearts. Start cue bidding controls with 4C, the cheapest cue bid
available. North should realize this is a cue bid with spades agreed as trump,
for South should not be proposing clubs as trump when North has promised a
self-sufficient spade suit.
North
now cue bids 4D and South cue bids the A of hearts.
North now can bid 5H to promise the king, a critical card because it helps set
up partner’s heart suit.
North-South
now know they have an excellent play for at least Six Spades.
South
should not sign off too quickly. Partner still doesn’t know about the king of
clubs or queen of spades..
The
bidding goes to six, or even seven, spades.
