 Your choice:
A: Good news - Having only small cards opposite your partner's singleton is great news. You will be able to ruff all your Diamond losers.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A
♥ A Q 8 5 2
♦ 7 6 5 4
♣ K Q J 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - You can hope for a slam. You have all the suits controlled as your partner has a singleton Diamond (and a nice Heart fit). Bid Blackwood.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A
♥ A Q 8 5 2
♦ 7 6 5 4
♣ K Q J 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♦
1♥Pass4♦Pass
4 NTPass5♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 6♥ - Your partner has two keys without the Queen of trumps. Bid the small slam as you have four of the five keycards and the ♥Q.

Your partner's hand:
♠ K 10 9 8
♥ K 7 6 4 3
♦ 2
♣ A 5 2

The slam is great. You can draw trumps, ruff two Diamonds and discard one on the King of Spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question
