Good luck!

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ 9 6 3
♥ 7 6 5 4 2
♦ 5 3
♣ 8 7 4 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1 NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♦ - Yes, you can transfer even with zero points. Your hand is worthless in No-trump, but might make Heart trick(s) in 2♥.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ 8 3
♥ A 6 5 2
♦ Q 6 2
♣ 9 7 4 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1 NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - You can transfer with zero points, but you need to be interested in game to bid Stayman. Therefore, you must have at least eight points.

What would you do if you bid 2♣ and your partner bids 2♠? You do not want to play in 2 NT (or worse, 3 NT if your partner is maximum) with 21 points.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 9 6 3
♥ 8 3
♦ K 9 2
♣ J 10 7 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1 NTPass
2♥Pass2♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3 NT - The magic of the transfer is that you can bid it with a very weak hand, but also with strong hands. Here, you want to play in game, but you have already told your partner about your five Spades.

Bid 3 NT. If your partner has three Spades, he will go back to 4♠. If he does not, he will pass, and your side will play 3 NT.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 9 8 4
♥ A Q 6 3 2
♦ K J 8 2
♣ 6 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1 NTPass
2♦Pass2♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♦ - Don't bid 3 NT too quickly with a singleton. Bid 3♦. It is forcing to game, showing five Hearts and four Diamonds.

If he does not have a Heart fit, your partner will only bid 3 NT with stoppers in Spades and Clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ K J 8 5 2
♥ A 9 6 3

--1 NTPass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♣ - With 5/4 in the majors, start with Stayman.

If your partner bids 2♦, you will then be able to show that you have five Spades.
