Open Your Opener
North–South can score game in spades or notrump, but not if the auction
goes, “Pass–Pass–Pass–Pass”. Either North or South must open to reach
even a partscore contract. My partner and I would both open the South
hand 1NT in first seat. After that, a Stayman auction would lead to 3♠
or 4♠ depending upon how aggressive North felt. Such aggressive methods
are not necessary. North–South can easily reach a spade contract on the
normal auction, below.
Normal Auction to a Normal Spade Contract:
| North | East | South | West |
| | | Pass | Pass |
| 1♦ * | Pass | 1♠ † | Pass |
| 2♠ § | Pass | # |
* Here is the critical position. With nearly full opening strength,
North has the option to open after two passes. Possible situations
include both the case where each player holds about 9–11 HCP and the
situation where South and West are quite weak and East holds twenty
points or so.
In the first case, each side can probably win seven or eight tricks
declaring in its best denomination. North must open the bidding to
secure the North–South partscore. East will probably be too weak to
compete for the partscore. If North passes, East may open in fourth
seat and secure an East–West partscore.
In the second case, East–West may have game. Again, North must open
the bidding with less than full values. Now, North’s objective is to
spoil the unobstructed auction by which East–West may bid to a game
(or partscore) that they can make. Notice that East’s most powerful
call is a takeout double. Thus, West will all but certainly bid over
East’s double. A successful penalty double is essentially impossible.
† South certainly owes North—who may hold any strength from 10–11 HCP
up to something just shy of nine winners in hand—a response. The one
spade call is perfect. The fifth spade offers some insurance against
a pass with a misfit and a subminimum hand by North. If North rebids
showing extra (or even full) values, lively chances for some game
come into view.
§ The spade raise showing a full opener is a slight overbid, but the ♠J,
♦Q10, and ruffing value in clubs may justify claiming a twelfth or
thirteenth point for the single raise. After the light third seat
opening, passing here is also acceptable. After South’s initial pass,
a game is quite unlikely.
# How the auction will develop from here is subject to speculation. If
South takes great pride in the ninth trump, the minor suit honors,
and the diamond ruffing value, se might blast directly to game. South
might also take a pessimistic view and pass 2♠. A middle course where
South makes a game try below 3♠ may prove the most popular auction.
Whether North–South reach the thin game is not the point. That the hand
belongs to North–South and that they should declare some contract is.
Making game in either notrump or spades requires the unusual line of
cashing the ♠A to drop the offside singleton ♠K and than playing the
hand all out. Finding that approach at the table would be most unusual.
Most declarers would play more sanely and win seven to nine tricks.
