West led a small
heart to the queen and East returned a club. South played the king, West the
deuce, and now South asked West the meaning of 2©. West said that it showed 10-14 points.
Therefore South placed East with the ace of diamonds and overtook the club king
with the ace to lead a diamond from dummy. The contract went two off, minus 200
North/South. South called the TD and told that had she got a correct
explanation of 2©
being a weak jump-overcall she would have won the club trick with the king to
play a small diamond towards the 10. She claimed that this way she would have
made at least nine tricks and probably ten as the defenders would have to play
very carefully to beat 4ª. |

The TD decided that
there had been an infraction and that South had been damaged, but as she could
not tell what would have happened without the infraction she scored the hand
60/40 in favour of North/South. |
