{

E/W are not vulnerable so a 4NT overcall showing "two places to play" may lead
to a good sacrifice in either clubs or hearts. East has only two clubs, so bids
5\D knowing the partnership must have a fit in either diamonds or hearts.}

{

The Unusual 2NT by West shows a hand containing at least 5-5 in the two lowest
ranked unbid suits, in this instance clubs and diamonds.}
[Result ""]
{

Both pairs have 20 HCPs each. However, on this hand N/S can make 5\S or 5\H and
E/W can make 5\D. E/W do have a good sacrifice with 6\D but will probably not
bid it due to the unfavourable vulnerability.}
