Finding a Slam
Posted: 31 Dec 2023, 16:21
Here's a deal from playing with the robots today. I like this auction.
The key bid was 3♣ which is natural with slam interest, and then 4♥ confirmed heart support. My robot partner, holding a maximum, was then smart enough to bid RKC Blackwood and drive to slam. At the other table, all robots, they languished in 4♥.
