{Lead: \H 4\n
With no 5-card major and 3-3 in the minors, most agree to open 1\C. Holding
game values but no 4-card major, South jumps to 3NT. Thanks to fortuitous
placement of the cards, South need only lose the two outstanding aces for +460.}

{Lead: \H 2\n
Holding 3 to an honor, some Wests will raise 1\S to 2\S. On this hand, however,
that action will likely get the partnership too high. 1NT more accurately
describes West's shape and strength, and East knows that game is out of reach.
Indeed, 7 tricks at notrump is the limit on this layout.}

With interference in the auction and East's marginal hand, E-W are unable to
discover their heart fit. N-S should make their diamond partial with no
trouble.}

{South's 1\S bid is artificial and forcing, and implies an unbalanced hand.
However, North has a balanced minimum with spades stopped, so she bids 1NT.
South may have been thinking about a minor suit slam, but now settles for 3NT.}

{Lead: \S 2\n
East, in the pass-out seat, would like to balance. But on this auction,
finding a place to play seems doubtful. West would like to lead a trump, but
with KQx behind the A this would cost a trick. Despite having only 19 of the
40 HCP, N-S score up a positive partial score.}

{Lead: \H 3\n
E-W have agreed that the 2\D bid by a passed hand shows a limit major raise
with 4+ trumps. Bidding anything other than 2\H confirms a full opener, but
when West can still only invite, East passes. Alas, with wasted queens and
jacks, and the \DK offside, there are 5 losers for down 1.}

{Lead: \H 4\n
The artificial 2\S bid shows a forcing hand and asks for 3-card heart support.
West denies 3 hearts so East's 3\H call now shows 6. West with \HAx is happy
to bid 4. East loses two hearts and a diamond, making 4.}
