 What's the contract you'd like to play? by Frank Stewart

What's the contract you'd like to play?

how will you best show your strength?

Find the right contract in these five examples

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A J 6
♥ 10 6
♦ A Q 6 3
♣ Q 10 9 4 		 
Q: 1 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♠Pass
2♣Pass2♥Pass
?

(2♣ was not game forcing)

 Your choice:
A: 3♠: You might belong at 3NT. If partner held K 8 7 5 2, A Q 9 3, K 2, J 5, he might run into trouble at four spades. Still, jump to three spades, forcing. A system in which your two clubs was game-forcing would have an edge here: You could bid two spades, leaving more room to look for the best contract.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ K 7 5
♥ 9 8
♦ A Q J 6 2
♣ K Q 10 		 
Q: 2 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♥Pass
2♦Pass3♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♦: Your partner's three clubs -- a "high reverse" -- shows substantial extra strength. Your hand is too strong to settle for 3NT. Mark time with a rebid of three diamonds and let him make another descriptive bid. If he has A 4 3, A K 7 6 5, None, A J 9 7 4, you will have a fine play for seven clubs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A K 10
♥ 9 6 4
♦ K J 6 3
♣ K 9 7 		 
Q: 3 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♦Pass1♥Pass
1NTPass2♠Pass
?




 Your choice:
A: 3♥: Your partner almost surely has five or more hearts and would like to have you show delayed support for his suit. Do your duty and bid three hearts. To suppress your support and bid 2NT would be masterminding. Partner will still have the option of bidding 3NT over your three hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 9 4
♥ A K Q J 9
♦ 9
♣ A K 10 8 3 		 
Q: 4 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♥Pass3♥Pass
4♣Pass4♦Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 5♥: Partner shows the ace of diamonds and slam interest. Your only concern is in spades; everything else looks solid. To direct his attention to the unbid suit, jump to five hearts, asking him to bid slam if he can stop the opponents from taking two fast spades.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A Q J 5 3
♥ 9 3 2
♦ K 7
♣ A 9 4 		 
Q: 5 - What do you bid next as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦Pass
1♠Pass3♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 4♣: Your partner's hand is worth about 17 points in support of spades with four-card support. Since you have good trumps, a side ace and the king of his long suit, you may have a grand slam. He may hold K 9 8 2, A 4, A Q 10 6 5, K 2. Start with a cue bid of four clubs to show your ace.

Your result so far:
Open Question
