There should be a great fight between the two camps!
North opens and, on the
basis of South's little paper, bids 1
(there are only 25 DH); East asks for the little paper and finding
24 DH thanks to the nine card fit in Hearts bids 1;
as North has a bit of leeway, he bids on his turn 2,
which pushes the opposition to 2;
North will have the last word with 3
on which the opponents can only pass …whew!
