This week’s bridge news sheet No. 293 has 6 articles. First of all you hold ♠Q83 ♥A103 ♦86 ♣KQJ32 and partner opens 1♣, what do you bid? Next you hold ♠Q96 ♥Q4 ♦Q764 ♣Q643, RHO opens 1♣, you pass, LHO bids 1♦ and partner doubles; RHO passes, what do you do? Next you hold ♠K108 ♥92 ♦A92 ♣KJ953 and partner opens 1♠; you bid 2♣ and partner rebids 2NT, what do you bid now? Then there’s an opening bid question, you hold ♠A ♥AK74324 ♦4 ♣AK964, what do you open? This hand contains 10 playing tricks and should open 2♣ (or your strongest bid). Next we have a deal where one pair stayed low but in the wrong strain and the other pair found the fit but bid too high. Finally there is Dave’s column on the play of the hand.
