 Bid a Hand by Matthias Huberschwiller

Ho ho ho.

Before grabbing a part of the Christmas turkey, you will have to bid a whole hand.

Good luck, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year on behalf of the whole Vu-Bridge Team!

 Your choice:
A: 7 - What more do you need? Nothing. Your partner has the Ace of Diamonds and the Ace of Hearts, and as his Diamond Ace is singleton, you will be able to ruff all your losers.

The grand slam is not cold, but it's a good one. You'll have to ruff three Diamonds before drawing trumps, and then you'll be okay.

A grand slam with 24 HCPs between both hands! It must be Christmas!
