Question 1

South
♠ A 10 6 5 2
♥ A Q
♦ A 7 4 2
♣ 3 2

Q: 1 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

In these hands you are responder. What do you reply to 1NT?

A: 3♠. You must play this hand in game but the actual resting place is uncertain. 4♠ might prove to be better than 3NT or vice versa. 3♠ shows a five-card suit and is forcing (partner cannot Pass). Opener must convert to 3NT (with only two Spades) or raise to 4♠ with three or more trumps.

Question 2

South
♠ A Q 10 7 6 2
♥ 7
♦ A 7 4 2
♣ K 2

Q: 2 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to 1NT?

A: 4♠. You don't need to enlist partner's help here - you know of at least an eight-card Spade fit between the two hands (and game-going values). There's no need to pick the daisies, just proceed immediately to the obvious destination.

Question 3

South
♠ A Q 10 7
♥ 7
♦ A Q 4 2
♣ Q 9 6 2

Q: 3 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to 1NT?

A: 2♣. Now you want to locate a possible 4-4 Spade fit. Stayman will help you do this - if it exists. If opener bids 2♠ you will raise (of course) to 4♠. If opener bids 2♥ or 2♦ you will take a risk on the Hearts and bid 3NT.

Question 4

South
♠ A Q 10 7 3
♥ J 9 4
♦ 10 7 6 3
♣ 2

Q: 4 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to 1NT?

A: 2♠. A standard "weakness-takeout" or sign-off. You don't fancy 1NT and 2♠ looks to be a better spot. There's no point in bidding Stayman - why bother? Partner will, of course, Pass 2♠ as he's been told to shut up.

Question 5

South
♠ A Q 10 7
♥ J 9 4 2
♦ 10 7 6
♣ 8 2

Q: 5 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to 1NT?

A: Pass. A 4-4 major fit will prove better than 1NT if it exists. However, you cannot risk bidding Stayman with this hand. If partner now bids 2♦ what are you going to do then? On this type of hand you just have to Pass 1NT and take your medicine.

Question 6

South
♠ A Q 10 7
♥ J 9 4 3 2
♦ 10 6
♣ 8 2

Q: 6 -

South	West	North	East
		1NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to 1NT?

A: 2♣. Now you can afford to try Stayman. If opener bids a major you know you have located a fit (and you Pass, of course). If opener replies 2♦ you'll just have to bid 2♥ but you'll have lost nothing in trying. 2♥ in this sequence would still be a sign-off.

Question 7

South
♠ A Q 10 7 2
♥ 6 5
♦ 10 6 3 2
♣ 8 2

Q: 7 -

South	West	North	East
		2NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to a 2NT opening bid?

A: 3♠. Over 2NT there is simply no way of signing off with a bad hand. With abject weakness you just have to Pass. A bid of 3♥ or 3♠ shows a hand like this - a five-card suit and values for game. (opener has 20-22, remember). Partner either raises or bids 3NT according to how many of your suit he has.

Question 8

South
♠ 6 4
♥ A Q 10 2
♦ 10 6 3 2
♣ 8 7 2

Q: 8 -

South	West	North	East
		2NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to a 2NT opening bid?

A: 3♣. This is Stayman. You want to discover if there is a 4-4 Heart fit. If opener replies 3♥ you raise to 4♥ - if opener denies a major with 3♦ or if he bids 3♠ (denying Hearts) you just convert to 3NT.

Question 9

South
♠ J 9 7 6 2
♥ A Q 10 2
♦ 10 3 2
♣ 8

Q: 9 -

South	West	North	East
		2NT	Pass
?

What do you reply to a 2NT opening bid?

A: 3♣. You can still apply Stayman with this hand. If opener responds 3♠ or 3♥ you raise to game (obviously). If opener bids 3♦ you follow with 3♠, showing a five-card suit. Opener now has the choice of bidding 3NT or of supporting your suit (don't worry! He won't Pass).

Question 10

South
♠ A J 7 5
♥ K Q 10 3
♦ A K 9
♣ A 3

Q: 10 -

South	West	North	East
2NT	Pass	3♣	Pass
3♥	Pass	3NT	Pass
?

Here you are the opening 2NT bidder. What is your next move?

A: 4♠. To invoke Stayman partner simply must have a four-card major (why bother otherwise?). He obviously hasn't got four Hearts so he must have four Spades. 4♠ may prove to be a lot better contract than 3NT (which may fail on a Club lead, for example).
