DEAL 20

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 2♣ as New Minor Forcing, hoping SOUTH has three ♥s.

SOUTH does not have three ♥s and he has no other bid to make that will describe his hand any better. He cannot bid Notrump again without a ♣ stopper. So SOUTH rebids the 5-card ♦ suit.

NORTH has nowhere to go, so passes.
