DEAL 2

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 a balanced hand with 22 points. He opens 2♣.

NORTH, with 5 points, must respond ♦. Both these bids are artificial.

SOUTH now describes his hand by bidding 2NT.
NORTH bids 3NT, knowing that the partnership holds at least 27 points.
