Kimelman's Corner

Here is a bidding problem from the Canadian Bridge Championships. Playing IMPs, partner opens 1♥. Your hand is Q108 J9 AQ93 AJ108. Playing 2/1 what do you bid? Decide before reading below….

Some people might bid 3NT showing 13-15 and a balanced hand. But I think bidding two clubs is better. It allows the partnership more room to explore the best contract. Partner rebids 2♥ which shows at least six hearts. What do you bid? What do you think of your hand?
