This is more of an oddity, from the Devon Swiss teams at Torquay. Second in hand at favourable vulnerability, I opened 1♦ holding:
♠ void
♥ A K 5 3
♦ A 10 9 7 5 4 2
♣ 7 6
The bidding proceeded 1♠ (overcall), 2♠ from partner (showing a good raise to 3♦), 3♠, 4♠ from me (cue bid, we’re going to 5♦, do you fancy six?), 5♠. That’s five consecutive spade bids!
This was passed round to me. Do you double or bid 6♦?
Well, thinking that partner’s points outside diamonds would be in hearts and clubs, I chanced six. The club ace was missing but onside, and the slam rolled in.
If there’s a point to this (apart from the curiosity of the bidding), it’s that when both sides have a massive fit, follow the adage ‘if in doubt, bid one more’.
