Question 10a
Question 10a. You answered that he should play the 10 of Spades. This is incorrect. It is of no value over and above what his partner played, the 9, and therefore should be saved for another time. Go back to Question 10 and choose another option.

Question 11a
Question 11 a. You answered the Queen. This is the correct answer. Although technically it doesn't make a lot of difference if you play small and then put a big card up in Declarer's hand, with this particular holding, it is best to lead a high card from the hand where you have the fewer cards in the suit.

Question 11b. You chose to play the 4 of Clubs. Although this is not really incorrect, it is not the best choice.

Question 35b. You answered No, the contract was not made. I am afraid that I have to agree with that.

60A
Question 60a. You answered that you would discard the 5 of Clubs. This will tell your partner that you have no interest in that suit, which is true, but there is a better choice. Go back to Question 60 and try again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/60A.html |
0.7k |
60B
Question 60b. You would like your partner to lead Clubs, so you have discarded the right suit, but by discarding an odd number, you have said you don't want Clubs. Go back to Question 60 and try again.

0.7k |
60C
Question 60c. You said that you would discard the 6 of Clubs to say that you want your partner to lead Clubs to you. This is the correct answer. You picked an even card, which is the signal that you want that suit back. So so summarise the main ways of doing your best in defense situations: Lead well and meaningfully,...

61A
Question 61a. You chose that you would be 2 Spades. If you were not using transfers, this would be the correct bid. But I said to consider the hand for using transfers. Go back to Question 61 and choose again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/61A.html |
0.7k |
61B
Question 61b. You said that you should bid 2 Hearts. This is correct. In the transfer convention, you bid the suit above the one you want your partner to bid, and you want to be in Spades. Sort out the hands from this situation and play the contract in 2 Spades, with West being the declarer, and East the dummy....

61C
Question 61c. You chose to No Bid. When you have a 5 card suit and a singleton, you are probably going to have an easier time playing in a suit than No Trump. Go back to Question 61 and choose again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/61C.html |
0.7k |
62A
Question 62A You chose to bid 4 Hearts in response to the 4 Club asking for Aces bid, meaning that you have 1 Ace, so that part of your answer is correct, but you also said that you had 1 King, and that is not correct. Go back to Question 61 and choose again.

62B
Question 62b. You said that you would reply 4 Hearts to the 4 Club asking bid, meaning that you have 1 Ace, which you do, and 5 Spades to the 5 Club asking for Kings bid, meaning you have 2 Kings. This is correct. Here are the hands for the slam in progress. Sort them out and play them out to see if you can make...

62C
Question 62c. You chose that you would bid 5 Hearts to the Aces asking bid, and 6 Hearts to the Kings, asking bid. Both are incorrect. You have bid too high. Go back to Question 62 and choose again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/62C.html |
0.7k |
63A
Question 63a. You chose to bid 5 Clubs, and 5 Diamonds. This is not correct. The asking bid for Kings depends on the answer of the Aces question, and with having only 1 Ace the response would have been 4 Hearts. Go back to Question 63 and choose again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/63A.html |
0.8k |
63B
Question 63b. You chose to bid 4 Spades and 4 No Trump. This is correct because the response to the question about Aces would have been 4 Hearts, meaning 1 Ace, so the next available bid for asking is 4 Spades, and the answer 4 No Trump means no Kings at all. If the next bid was 5 Clubs, you would be asking for...
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/63B.html |

63C
Question 63c. You chose to bid 4 No Trump as an asking bid, and 5 Clubs as the response. The asking bid in wrong, and therefore the response will be wrong as well. Go back to Question 63 and try again.

Question 6a
Question 6a. You answered 16 points. This is incorrect. You had 16 points before you knew that your partner supported you. Go back to Question 6 and choose again.

Question 6c
Question 6c. You chose 20 points. This is correct. You added to the 16 points we had calculated before, 1 point for a doubleton and 3 points for a singleton. When you have added your newly calculated 20 points to the minimum number of points you think your partner could have which is 6, you get a total of 26....

Question 7a
Question 7 a. You answered 3 Clubs. This would be the choice of many cautious bidders. However, it is not the best bid. Go back to Question 7 and bid again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/7A.html |
0.6k |
Question 7b
Question 7b. You chose to bid 4 Clubs. This is not a good bid in that it leaves the decision about whether to go to a game or not to your partner, who knows less about your hand than you do about his. It is not incorrect, but it is not the best bid. Go back to Question 7 and bid again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/7B.html |
0.8k |
Question 7c
Question 7c. You chose to bid 5 clubs. This is correct. You realized that with your combined total of 26 points, you should be able to make a GAME bid in Clubs - which means having to bid 5 Clubs in order to get 100 points. So the bidding sequence is like this. 1 Club No Bid 2 Clubs No Bid 5 Clubs No Bid No Bid...

Question 7d
Question 7d. You chose to No Bid. This was a coward's way out. You know that between you, you and your partner have enough points, so you shouldn't give in so easily. The more tricks you bid and make, the more points you score, and unless you score more than the opponents, you won't win. Go back to Question 7...

Question 8a
Question 8 a. You have chosen to lead the Ace of clubs. This is not a very good lead. You will win the trick, but you will also allow the opposition to play a small card on it. It if better to wait and force them to play a high card in order to take out your Ace. Go back to Question 8 and try again.
http://homepages.which.net/~j.day/8A.html |
0.8k |
Question 8b
Question 8 b. You chose to lead the King of Hearts. This is not a good lead. You at this stage don't know who has the Ace of Hearts, which is bigger and therefore will beat your King. It might be your partner, in which case, no harm will have been done. But it is equally likely to be the opposition, and you will...

Question 8c. You chose to lead the 9 of Spades. This is correct. It is not a very informative lead, but it is the best of the options you were given.
