[Max quoted by Grattan]
Just to double check that we are now in total agreement. 2D
opening - 1H undercall. 1H is artificial showing a balanced
13-17. Replaced with 2NT showing a balanced 15-17
(assume this is OK for the sake of the example).

i) responder raises to game with his 10 count. Game makes.
The overcaller has only 13 points. Outcome; they've got lucky
- score stands.

ii) responder passes with his 10 count. Game doesn't make.
Outcome; regardless of whether the overcaller has his bid or
not, the score is adjusted to game going off.

When I come to writing up my notes for the Zone 1 lecture,
I'm hoping beyond hope that everyone already understands
27B1(a) as this is effectively the same as the old 1997 law.
However, from some things I've read of late from other parts
of the world, I'm not entirely convinced that such is the case.
Of course we never discuss these things at International
tournaments because we have screens so the situation never
arises.

More interesting is the case when partner has *9 HP* and passes.
