He himself could guard against more than one diamond loser. It then became a question of the heart sult. Surely, after North's Jump, South could depend on losing no more than one heart. Thus, to feel out the situation more fully and to give a slam try without going past the safe five level, South should have bid five clubs. North then would need no great imagina- tion to go to a slam and, since it was match point duplicate, to con- tract for six hearts rather than six cluba..

As I have repeatedly pointed out, aggressive bidding is desirable when players are assured that the hands fit admirably.
