 Board 30
Orlov opened with 1
and Dubinin showed a weak hand with spades. Matshuko chose to double, and Gromov redoubled… seeking to deceive the opponents.
Orlov decided to pass to listen to his partner, and Dubinin occupied more bidding space with 2
. Matshuko finally showed his hearts and South decided to play in 3NT, that being the final contract.
 Declarer received the 3 lead. He won with his A, played the K and claimed his 12 tricks.
 At the other table the World Champions from Holland projected themselves beyond…
Drijver also opened the bidding with 1 meaning:
a) 12-14 balanced 2+
b) 17-20 balanced 2+
c) 12+ no balanced 4+),
and Rudakov also said 2
to show his weak hand with spades, but here to show his hand Brink chose a 2, cue bid.
After East’s pass, Drijver showed his strong balanced hand with good spade stoppers with a 3NT call, but here North didn’t pass…he said 5NT asking partner to pick a slam. South preferred to play NT and said 6 of them.
At this table the lead was the 8…declarer won the first trick and also climed playing the K.
