A simple board.
-Lead, so no losers in this suit. In the red suits 2 losers.
So only 2 -losers are allowed.
Try trick1:10.
Then to K and again play a .
If 10 loses then continue to A and to K.
At oyr table the leader let run 6.
So 3 -tricks were lost, -1.
A nice bidding-convention.

We play: East transfer, and a new suit is gameforcing.
With a transfer and 2SA you miss the 4-4 fit .
There are 2 solutions for East:
You make a transfer and a new suit inviting.
Or
You make 2, and then 3 inviting.
After A Lead and continuation the play wasn’t the problem, 3-3.
At the end a tricky contract

Take trick1 with A, North plays 7
North also has 9, the best play is .
Making 2 -, 2-, 2, 3-tricks, 6 in East is higher then 4 in South.
Also you can duck a , you have 3 -tricks.
Beginning with K and Q also works.
If South takes the 2nd and continues naspeelt you play .
If South takes the 2nd and plays you duck.
Conclusion:
It was in fact an easy game.
Louis, the Dutch player.
