DEAL 15

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 has 13 points and good 3-card support for NORTH's 1 opening bid. But he should not bid 2NT since that bid promises 4+ cards in support. South must still insure they reach game, so he bids a forcing 2♣.
When NORTH next says 2NT SOUTH can jump to 4.

NOTE: if you used Jacoby 2NT and reached the 4 game, give yourself credit anyway.
