The article reviews a bridge hand where West opens, North bids 4¢, South 4NT, and North shows a diamond void. South then bids 7 hearts after a 6 diamonds response, with East following to a club, illustrating an in-progress convention. The author plans to adopt a four club diamond scheme and invites reader experimentation.
Oswald Jacoby explains North's four diamond bid as a convention showing at least four trumps headed by two top honors and a singleton or void in diamonds. The response gives South full information for a small slam. If North has a singleton diamond the hand makes six, if void it makes seven.
