2 Clubs was New Minor Forcing - I thought we agreed 2d to be minimum no feature but it showed 5/6 Diamonds. 1370 in (12.5 imps) as trumps and clubs break with the King onside.

I didn't apologise because I was playing against a journalist. The fecking Mejia have ruined this country!

In this session, we started out with the following hand which set the tone ...
