Flannery:  2\D - (P) - 2\H - (3\C); 3\D - (4\CE)  =7

After a 1\H opening, North should try 1NT, in an attempt to slow the auction
down and buy the contract at 2\H.  While this usually works, not this time.

The Flannery auction is superior, because North might diagnose that all his
points are working and bid (as the cards lie) the lucky 4\H.

The Mod South gets lucky:  the purported 5-card spade opening keeps East out,
and North chooses to stop in a possible 4-2 fit, undoubled, as opposed to a
likely 5-1.

The Std, Tucker and Kaplan Norths might choose to back in with 2NT for the
minors, likely doubled and down 200 on this deal.

It turns out to be more useful for North, the unlimited hand, to know South
has four spades, than for South to know North has at least 5.  Flannery get
that right.  Flannery also discloses South has the wrong minor suit
distribution, so North knows a grand slam is out of the picture.

The Tucker auction is solid, but not as strong as Flannery.

The Kaplan or Tucker North must not bid 1\S with slam interest.  The 2\D bid
distorts his distribution.  Fortunately, South's 2\S should not be treated as
a reverse, since North will either repeat diamonds or force to game.

The Std and Mod auctions work OK, but North is never absolutely sure South has
four spades.  Flannery is better, disclosing South's minor suit shape.

The Flannery East will often make his contract:  any time South leads a club,
or if declarer gets to win the second diamond in dummy (diagnosing the
distribution), or when simply playing North for at least as many clubs as
South.

4\H requires two spade winners to succeed.  The correct line might be adopted,
since West bid the suit.  This, plus two diamond ruffs and a 4-0 trump split
requires delicate play.

Spades have been shown by South, so a 3\S cue bid would promise two of the top
three honors on Serious 3NT auctions (not Flannery).  The last train bid would
be ongoing slam interest without a diamond control - suddenly South's hand is
huge, and he can drive to the slam.

The Flannery auction looks well enough, but South could just as easily hold
\SKQ94 \HAQ964 \DQ \C973, and 5\H would be in jeopardy.  Serious 3NT
cuebidding after 3\H would work well on this hand, but not on other Flannery
hands. As it stands, swap the \SK for the \SQ or \SJ, and there are only 11
tricks - South was not really involved in the slam decision.\n

Flannery:  2\D - 2NT; 3\D - 3\H; 4\HN  =7

The Flannery auction is superior, because the only real issue for North is
whether or not to bid game.  The diamond fragment (club shortness) is
disappointing, but South has a fine hand and bids game anyhow.

On the other auctions, South may be unlimited, and slam is in the picture
until the 4\D courtesy cue bid.   Note that South carefully does not bid 4\C,
which would show an honor and might get North excited.  Once North bids 2\C, a
game will be bid.

Flannery:  2\D - 3\H!; 4\D - 4\HN   =6

The Flannery auction is inferior, because North must guess over 4\D.  Had
opener's minors been \D4 \CKQ6, \D4 \CQJ6 or \D4 \CJ76, North would not know
what to do over 4\C, either.  Signing off seems the best guess.  Opener could
continue with a super hand.

The Jacoby 2NT auction quickly discloses the diamond weakness.

Flannery:  2\D - (X) - 2NT - (P); 3\D -  (P) - 3\HN  =6

A tricky hand all around.  Despite substantial interference, good judgement
stops the standard auctions in the last safe contract of 4\D.\n
While these auctions are quite different, I judge the overall value of each to
be about the same.

Over a Flannery 2\D, West's may judge his suit too flimsy for 3\C and try a
double to show a strong 1NT hand.  The auction proceeds as if there were no
interference.  South must decide his hand is too weak to jump to 4\D (his
correct rebid), or North will have no choice but to carry on to game.  North
must understand that diamond length is not particularly useful, and continue
with an invitational 3\H.

The standard Souths should pass this hand.  While it is a minimum opening by
Bergen's rule of 20, the continuations are not appealing.  In spite of the
competition, this works out fine this time.  A 1\H opening should also serve.

The Flannery South has a perfectly descriptive minimum 2\D opening.

4\S is a good contract on these cards, but there appears to be no good way to
bid it.  South has an absolute max, and the \DK is working.  The Flannery
North could just leap to 4\S:  vul vs. not and slim chance of making, from his
perspective.  Competition prevents the other auctions from finding the spade
fit at all.

The Std, Mod or Tucker North plans to sign off in 4\H if not raised.  This is
not a happy deal for Kaplan.  North has a choice between an artificial,
limited 1\S response (think 1NT forcing) and 2\C on J982.

Any of these Norths could choose: \n
1\H - (P) - 2\C - (2\D); 2\S - (P) - 3\S - (P); 4\C [non-serious] - (P) - 4\SS\n
The possibility of this auction raises the Kaplan score to 4.

The Flannery North envisions slam opposite \SAxxx \HAQxxx \DAxx \Cx, and
checks it out.

While 4\H makes 5 double dummy, this is not a great game contract.  I'd rather
be in 3\H.  The standard Norths will be tempted to push on, opposite the
3-level raise.

The Flannery North would like to make a cooperative double of 3\D, but
straight penalty seems to be the way of the convention.  The lie of the cards
that makes so many tricks in hearts also sends 3\D down a couple on trump
leads.

The Flannery South announces a spade suit, and North does not promise a real
heart fit.  This combination is likely to keep the opponents out of the
auction.

The Flannery North could try a 2NT inquiry, but it all comes down to the lie
of the cards, the value of the \DK and the value of the stiff \C - which North
cannot discover.  North gets field protection by jumping to 4\H, which he
knows will happen everywhere.
