IMP, robot tourney, best hand South.
I would have expected 3
♣ to show a
♥ fit, but perhaps GIB does not play that.
But even if 3
♣ does not show a
♥ fit personally I think that 2
♣ is sufficient, with 1N and 2N both scoring above 3
♣ (come to think of it not sure what the best bid is, other than that 3
♣ ain't it)
3
♠ by West is then "courageous" but perhaps in context of the announced meaning of 3
♣ not so bad, but I am swimming in the dark here slightly. Perhaps it is atrocious.
