4¨ was not alerted
by East to North. When the tray came back with 4©, North pointed to the 4¨ bid
on the tray and only received a shrug in reply. It seemed absolutely natural to
East that his 4¨ bid showed Heart support, but North claimed he did not find
this natural, so he did not interpret his partner's 4NT bid in the way it was
intended. |
