unintended call 25A
Holding S A942
H AJ4
D QJ963
C 10
Player opens 1D, partner bids 1S. Now opener bids 3D intending to bid 3S. I would allow this as unintended notwithstanding the diamond holding on the grounds thar the no-one would seriously repeat the diamonds with a known major fit. Am I being too lenient in my old age?? I can find no comment on the laws that says you cannot make an unintended bid with a 4 card holding in that suit. This was a junior partnership.

I agree with allowing this as unintended at any level of competition
emphatically
One top director recommends this approach:Don't look at the hand
Ask the player (away from the table) why s/he bid 3D
If the answer is irrational (in a bridge sense) or (as is often the case) they say "I have no idea"
Then it can be treated as unintended(Although I often cut corners by looking at the hand
Usually the answer to that question is immediately apparent)
