DEAL 14

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 an opening hand, 14 points and five ♠s. But EAST beat him to the punch, so he overcalls 1♠.

NORTH also has 14 points, she doesn't care too much for ♠s, but she has an excellent stopper in ♥s. She jumps to 2NT, inviting SOUTH to bid game.

Since SOUTH has several points more than he might have had, and no 6-card ♠ suit to rebid, he happily bids 3NT.
