Unusual bidding in bridge match ends in three hearts
In a bridge problem based on an unusual auction West held off with the ace and South showed four hearts. South signaled a preference toward five hearts but misread a no trump line, costing four hearts and the diamond ace to give one down. The American lead over Italy widened to 17 International Match Points after the second session amid multiple swings. The bidding diagram shows South choosing three notrump over three clubs, with the question: should you bid three clubs or three notrump. The audience is asked: You bid three clubs and your partner bids three diamonds.
