DEAL 17

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.

NORTH bids 4♣ after SOUTH's Jacoby 2NT. The reason for this bid is just to describe her hand as having a side 5-card ♣ suit. NORTH knows the eventual contract will be some level of s.

SOUTH doesn't have a strong hand, but he would show control at this time if he had the Ace. He isn't strong enough to go past game to show the ♠A, so he just bids 4.
