In world championship trials, four East players reopened with one no trump or two diamonds, while four passed. The four who passed defended well, keeping South vulnerable to spade contracts but gaining against heart and diamond lines. The trial featured nine tables and highlighted risks of pull to two no trump with only eleven points and short five card suits.
