It is near the end of a close match and the result on this hand may be the deciding factor. We are playing old fashioned methods (strong, ACOL type two-bids) and, with eight playing tricks, I have a hand suitable for a 2spade opening bid. This, of course, is forcing for one round. (Some pairs have a two-bid as strong but not absolutely forcing. They write "Not absolutely forcing" as an acronym on their convention card, not realising that "NAF" is in inadvertently appropriate description of the system.) Partner responds 2NT to show a weak responding hand and I content myself with a rebid of 3spade. After his negative response partner is not obliged to bid again over this but he dredges up a raise to 4spade. West leads a low Diamond (the diamond4) and dummy displays:    Right Symbol
