Even Steve Robinson would open this 1♦. This hand is too good to open 5♦, and 6♦ is just going swinging.

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

No he wouldn't. But I would.

Scoring: IMPs


After opening 1♦, it is still tough to find out not only about the A of hearts and K of diamonds, but partner's heart length to bid the grand. In any case, what are you going to do - double exclusion keycard for diamonds?

I opened 4NT, and we reached 6♦.
