Good luck!

 K 2

SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 1 - There's no need to jump, even with a strong hand. Your partner won't pass 1.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
 A K J 7 6 5
 K Q 3 2

 K 2
 
Q: 2 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
1Pass2Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2 - Rebidding your Spades would not be forcing. You need to bid Fourth-suit Forcing to find out more about your partner's hand.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
 A K J 7 6 5
 K Q 3 2
 2
 K 2
 
Q: 3 - What do you bid as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1Pass
1Pass2Pass
2Pass2Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3 - 2 was forcing to game, so 3 is a slam-try. You cannot bid 4 NT as your partner doesn't know about the Spade fit yet.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
 A K J 7 6 5
 K Q 3 2

 K 2
 
Q: 4 - What do you bid as South?

 Your choice:
A: 4 NT - Go for Blackwood.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand

 K 2
 
Q: 5 - What do you bid as South?

4 NTPass5Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 5 - Your partner has three or zero keys. It must be three since he opened the bidding.

To try for a grand slam, you need to ask partner about the Queen of trumps. It would be reckless to bid 7 without the Queen (unless you had a 10-card fit).

A bid of the next step in a suit other than trumps after a response to Blackwood asks for the Queen of trumps.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 6

  Your Hand
 A K J 7 6 5
 K Q 3 2
 2
 K 2
 
Q: 6 - What do you bid as South?

4 NTPass5Pass
5Pass6Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 7 - Your partner would have bid 5 without the Q. By jumping to slam, he's showing the Queen of trumps and no outside king.

Your partner's hand:
Q 4 2
A
A 7 6 5 4
A 7 6 3

There are 13 tricks in Spades by ruffing a Heart. Perfectly bid!

Your result so far:
