South has an opening hand and tolerance for the unbid suits. North is strong
enough to make a free bid, but not strong enough to bid game. North can bid 2
♣ or 1 NT to show they have values. EW can now bid diamonds to show at least 5
hearts and 4 diamonds.
Lead is ♦ A against clubs and ♣ 7 against a heart contract.
