{Auction by GIB -- If you play 2/1 forcing to game, you must respond 1\H -- yuk!}
[Result ""]
{My methods for 1\D - 2\C work well; I'll write them up soon.  Treat that as a
4-card heart suit:  this is a club hand, unless <i>West</i> bids hearts!  Here's a
start to the auction:  \n
    1\D - 2\C; 2\S [shows at least 4=5 shape, no limits on values] - 3\C
[non-forcing]\n
Pass is now a fine call, with the misfit.  3NT is also reasonable, hoping for
\H10xx or the like in East.  3\H [fourth suit forcing] could lead to 4\C, but
is OK this time:  East bids 3NT with all those tricks and hearts.  An
alternative auction, if 2\S is a reverse and responder carries responsibility
for major suit fits:\n
    1\D - 2\C; 2\D [long but limited] - 2\H; 2NT - 3NT

There are 8 tricks on top at 3NT, and a ninth available in either major, since
the \H10 comes down.  It comes down to avoiding two diamond losers.  If North
leads a low diamond (the correct card, in the wrong suit), the hand is over. 
A spade lead also cedes the ninth trick - a tenth, if South takes the Ace. 
Better is the \H10 and a switch to the \D10.  A count of tricks produces the
winning play:  finesse the Jack, just in case, and win the second round.  The
only chance is exactly what happens:  North has no entry, and ninth trick
comes in safely, after cashing the first eight and leading a heart.  The pair
in 3\C making five deserved a better score, but their luck was out.  Mix up
the N/S cards just a little, and 3NT would be down one on a heart lead.   -
