Dozing away? Sometimes I have so much compassion for one of the juniors. Picking up ♠ 9 6 4 ♥ 10 7 5 2 ♦ 6 5 3 2 ♣ 9 4 you doze away a little after a long day of intensive bridge. The 1♥ opening bid by partner is comfortable. With both sides vulnerable you assume opponents will win the bidding (from rubberbridge experience you never save vulnerable!) WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH pass 1♥ 1♠ pass 2♠ 3♦ 3♠ pass pass pass 5: System idea? Partner opens a club (nebulous as ever: 2+♣) You have ♠ 9 5 3 ♥ 6 ♦ A K 10 ♣ A K 9 6 4 2 East/NS WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH - - 1♣ pass 2♣ pass 2NT pass ?? Partner showes 12-14 NT. How to proceed? 6: A tough one West/NS
WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1 ♣/♦ pass 1♠ pass 1 NT(12-14) pass 2♣ pass 2 ♠ pass ?? 2♠: minimum with 3crd♠. How do you go as east with: ♠ Q J 10 4 3 ♥ A Q 4 ♦ J 7 6 ♣ Q 3? ANSWERS TO THE TUESDAY QUIZ 1: Your leads worked out fine?

A heart will defeat the slam but after a clublead, declarer can develop a spade tricks and ruff out the diamonds for total of three heart discards.

As you can see it is obligatory to take ♠A in the first trick.
In both lead[problems the contact stayed in game at the other table so it is easy to count how many imps you had won (or lose). 3:

You feel satisfied when opponents stay in 3♠ just making. But lots of sadness when at the other table 4♥ was reached.
WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH 3♣ 3♥ 3♠ pass pass 4♦ pass 4♥ pass pass pass Of course west should have saved to limit the loss and maybe, if west has raised to 4♠ at his first turn, north would have been compelled to bid 5♦ and east-west had their plus. 5: North

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
- - 1♣ pass 2♣ pass 2NT pass At this point west is even not sure about 6-3 fit in ♣, but anyway west should be able to tell in which category the hand is. In this case with 14 opposite 12-14 slam is a long shot; but 5♣ could be a lot better than 3NT. Describing a hand may be a useful gadget: so 3♦/3♥/3♠ as singleton?

A very nasty one, With ♥-values in west it might be 4♠, but even 3♠ might be too high with wrong honours in west. So – after 2♠ - inviting for 4♠ with 3♠, or going on to 4♠ yourself? Or inviting for 3NT with 2NT or bidding 3NT yourself (what would that mean after using 2♣?)
