Both EW used Drury. The bidding was similar. In the Open room, it was a two-way Drury, so East knew about West's four-card fit AND a good hand. In the Close room, the four-card fit was implied by a raise of 2♠ rebid. Yet, the invitation was accepted in the Close Room, and not in the Open Room. FORMIDABLES gained 10 IMPs as a result.

Deal 55: 10 IMPs to FORMIDABLES.

Total : INDIA BLUES: 112               
          FORMIDABLES: 125
