DEAL 6

These Practice pages can be utilized in several ways.

The recommended method is for two partners to be in vocal contact, each looking at the page in a different computer - perhaps one with a laptop. Using this method one partner would start by clicking on NORTH, the other on SOUTH.

Somewhat less satisfactorily, the partners can use a single computer, and alternate looking at the display, again one as NORTH, the other as SOUTH.

As a last resort, one person can click back and forth between screens.

Start by clicking one of the buttons; when the bidding is complete click the BIDDING button to check the "recommended" bidding.

SOUTH decides it is unlikely that NORTH is Aceless, so all he wants to know is the number of Aces NORTH does have. He invokes RKC Blackwood.

Since no trump suit has been agreed, NORTH bids as if s, the last-bid suit prior to 4NT is agreed. NORTH has two Key-cards plus the trump Queen, so she bids 5♠.

SOUTH bids 6.
If NORTH had just one Key-card, SOUTH would bid 5 over the 5♣ reply.
