I had a few people ask me how to play this hand, which was one of the last boards in the NSW Youth Pairs tournament (December 2).

North/South were playing Precision. 1C shows a 17+ hand and partner's 2D bid was game forcing with 5+ diamonds. After finding no fit, partner asked for your aces and kings and eventually bid the grand.

West leads the seven of hearts.

Question:  What chances do you have and how do you plan to play this contract?
