DEAL 13

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
 
 You are the Dealer.
 Bid this hand with your partner.
 East overcalls 1♠ if possible.
 Neither opponent bids again.
     
 
 SOUTH
 
 Your partner, NORTH is the Dealer.
 Bid this hand together.
 East overcalls 1♠ if possible.
 Neither opponent bids again.

SOUTH has 9 points a a ♥ suit - good enough to make a Negative Double over EAST's 1♠ overcall.

But NORTH doesn't have ♥s, she has ♠s and ♦s, so she bids 1NT to show her ♠ stopper and a minimum opener.

SOUTH should pass.
