DEAL 21

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 might just use Jacoby 2NT since he has great support and more than 13 points. But, he has so much more than 13 points that he should inform partner by making a jump-shift. He plans to return to s later.

NORTH has different plans. Knowing partner has five ♠s and 17 or more points she pushes straight to the ♠ slam.

It didn't matter, slam is cold in either Major.
