In this quiz we will test the developments after an opening in a minor suit.

Question 1

  Your Hand
♠ A 7 6
♥ A J 9 7 5 3
♦ Q 4 2
♣ 4 		 
Q: 1 - We started answering 1♥ to our partner opening. How should we continue ?

--1♦Pass
1♥Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3♥ - This bid is the better description of our hand showing an invitational hand (11-12 points) with at least 6 cards in hearts.

2♣ - This would be "4th suit game forcing", an overbid because we just have 11 points.

Partner can pass our 3♥ bid if he is very minimum.

♠ K 7 6
♥ A Q 9 5 4 3
♦ Q 4 2
♣ 9 		 
Q: 2 - We started answering 1♥ to our partner opening. How should we continue ?

--1♦Pass
1♥Pass2♦Pass
?



 Your choice:
A: 3♥ - This bid is the best description of our game, an inviting hand (11-12 points) with at least 6 hearts.

This is much more important than showing partner support with 3♦ .

--1♦Pass
1♠Pass2♥Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♠ - The lesser of two evils, we should have at least 6 cards, but there are no other alternatives.

Partner's bid was a reverse, which is forcing for one round, so we are forbidden to pass."

Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A J 8 7 6
♥ 9 7 5 2
♦ 8
♣ 8 7 6 		 
Q: 4 - Our partner opened the bidding, and we decided to respond with few points. What should we bid now ?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♦Pass
1♠Pass2♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: Pass - Only reverses and suit changes with a jump from opener are forcing, so passing in this situation seems the most convenient.

Any other bid would further complicate the auction.

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A K 8 7 6
♥ A J 3
♦ K 2
♣ 9 7 6 		 
Q: 5 - What should we bid ?
SouthWestNorthEast
--1♣Pass
1♠Pass2♣Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 2♦ - Before deciding to play in No Trump, let's first try to find out if partner has three spades.

To do that, we need to give him one more chance to bid, making sure he can't pass.

Among the options presented, 2♦ is the only forcing bid.
