In this quiz, we will look at situations where the opener may want to rebid 3NT.

Will you find the right answers?

Question 1

♣ A 4
 
Q: 1 - What will you rebid on this hand?

?


 Your choice:
A: 3♦. A jump-rebid in the suit that you opened suggests around 15-17 points and a six-card suit. It is non-forcing, but partner will pass only when they have a minimal response.

Your result so far:

Q: 2 - What will you rebid this time?

 Your choice:
A: 2NT. You cannot rebid 3♣ on a five-card suit. A jump-rebid of 2NT shows around 18 or 19 HCP. Partner will pass only with a very poor initial responding hand.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K 8
♥ A 7
♦ J 10 4
♣ A K Q 10 5 2
 
Q: 3 - What is your choice of rebid now?
SouthWestNorthEast
1♣Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3NT. Since the jump 2NT rebid covers hands of 18-19 HCP, the 3NT rebid becomes free to show a hand with a powerful minor suit - one that offers good prospects of making 3NT.

This hand is too strong to rebid 2NT, with all those potential tricks in clubs.

Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 8 6
♥ A K Q J 7 3
♦ A 9
♣ K J 5
 
Q: 4 - Now you have a very good heart suit. What will you rebid?

1♥Pass1♠Pass
?


 Your choice:
A: 3NT. Again, you do not need 3NT to show a balanced hand with a high number of points. 2NT already covers 18-19 points. So, the 3NT rebid can be used to show a hand with a very strong suit of at least six cards, even when the suit is a major.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A 7
♥ K J 6
♦ A Q 7 6 3 2
♣ A J
 
Q: 5 - What will you open on this hand?

?--


 Your choice:
A: 2NT. With 19 HCP and a six-card minor, you are too strong to open 1♦, intending to rebid 2NT or 3NT.

You should upgrade your hand and open 2NT. Your fifth and sixth diamonds are worth at least an extra 2 HCP.
