WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS Monday, 2025-07-28 
Q 1 – Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ Q 5 4   ♥ J 5
♦ K 8 6 5   ♣ 10 8 6 3

NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST
1H Pass 1NT Pass
3D Pass ?
What call would you make?
Don’t bid 3NT with such weak black suits. We would bid 3H rather than 4D, as it gives partner room to bid 3NT with a suitable hand.
Q 2 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ 9 8 6 4 ♥ 9 6 5
♦ 8 4 3   ♣ A Q 6

NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST
1S 2H 2S 3H
Pass Pass ?
What call would you make?
You should be safe competing to the 3 level with 9 combined trumps. Bid 3S.
Q 3 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ 10 ♥ J 2
♦ A Q J 10 9 7   ♣ A 10 6 4

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1H 1S Pass 2D
Pass 2S Pass ?
What call would you make?
We can’t give up on game yet, so we can’t pass. We like bidding 3D.
Q 4 – Both vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ K 8   ♥ A 9 7 5
♦ 8 6 3   ♣ K 9 7 6

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1D 1S Pass ?
What call would you make?
Too much to pass and no diamond stopper. What to do? We would bid 2S and promise partner an extra trump next time.
Q 5 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ Void   ♥ A K Q 8 4
♦ 7   ♣ A J 10 9 8 7 5

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1C 1NT Pass Pass
?
What call would you make?
Sounds like we’d rather be playing with West. Despite the advertised strength on our left, we would bid 4H and force a preference from partner.
Q 6 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ J 8 7 4   ♥ A 10 6 4 3

Passing could work well, but it is too timid for us. Bid 3D.

WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS Monday, 2025-07-21 
Q 1 – Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ K Q 5 4 3   ♥ A 8
♦ K 6   ♣ K 10 8 7

As dealer, what call would you make?
1NT would not be a sin, but we prefer to bid our suits when we think it likely that we can. Open 1S.
Q 2 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ Q ♥ K J 6 5 3 2
♦ 8 7 5   ♣ K Q 10

As dealer, what call would you make?
Were the queen of spades a low spade, we would all open 2H. Does the singleton queen make this hand into a 1H bid? We don’t think so. Bid 2H.
Q 3 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q 9 8 5 3 ♥ 10 8 7 5
♦ Q 6   ♣ A

WEST NORTH EAST SOUTH
1H Pass 1S ?
What call would you make?
2S would be natural here, not for take-out. Pass is certainly reasonable, but we would bid 2S.
Q 4 – Both vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ K Q J 7 6 5   ♥ 7
♦ A J 10 6   ♣ 9 4

EAST SOUTH WEST NORTH
1H 1S 1NT Pass
2H ?
What call would you make?
Both opponents are limited, meaning partner has a little something, and we think this hand is worth one more bid. Bid 2S.

What call would you make?
Partner still has the same take-out hand he had for his first double, he just has more values. Bid 3D.

What call would you make?
Partner has no more than 3 spades or 2 hearts. He almost certainly has 5 clubs. Bid 3C.

Q 1 – Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ 8 7 2   ♥ 8 5
♦ A K Q 10   ♣ K Q 7 4

With the opponents passing, you open 1D and partner responds 1H. What call would you make?
You need 9 cards in the minors to rebid 2C. Bid 1NT, despite the lack of a spade stopper.
Q 2 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ Q 10 9 8 7 6   ♥ A 10 6
♦ 7 5   ♣ 6 2

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
2S Pass 2NT Pass
?
What call would you make?
Only show a ‘feature’ when you have a maximum. Bid 3S to show a minimum.
Q 3 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A 8 7 4 ♥ A Q
♦ Q J 3 2   ♣ Q 8 3

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1NT Pass 2H* Pass
?
*Transfer to spades.

What call would you make?
Despite 4-card spade support, this hand is not really a maximum. Bid 2S.
Q 4 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ 8 7   ♥ A Q 7 4 3 2
♦ 9 5   ♣ Q J 6

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
2H Pass 2NT Pass
?
What call would you make?
This hand is a maximum. The best you can do to show a ‘feature’ is to bid 3C. The important thing is to show the max.
Q 5 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ J 9 3   ♥ A J 2
♦ A K 10 5   ♣ A 5 4

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1NT Pass 2H* Pass
?
*Transfer to spades.

What call would you make?
A max for sure, but you need 4-card support to bid more than 2S. Bid 2S.
Q 6 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q J 5   ♥ K 10 2
♦ 6   ♣ A Q 10 6 4

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST

What call would you make?
This might be a great dummy for hearts but bid 1S for now. Support hearts at your next turn.

WEEKLY BRIDGE QUIZ ANSWERS Monday, 2025-07-07

♠ Q   ♥ 9 7
♦ J 7   ♣ A K Q J 9 8 7 5

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1C Pass 1S Pass
?
What call would you make?
Great suit, but partner still needs a reasonable hand to make a game. Don’t push him to be too aggressive. Just bid 2C.
Q 2 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A 6 5 3   ♥ A K Q 9 8 6 5
♦ Void   ♣ A 7

Partner opens 2D, weak, and right-hand opponent bids 2S. What call would you make?
You must bid game and you should not look for more. Opposite a diamond pre-empt, you might not find a tenth trick, but you must try. Bid 4H.
Q 3 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A 10 7 6 4 2 ♥ J 7
♦ K 4   ♣ J 4 3

Partner opens 1NT, 15-17. What call would you make?
This is worth a game force. If you play both Jacoby and Texas transfers, bid 4H. If not, bid 2H and raise partner’s 2S response to game.
Q 4 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q 10 8 6 5   ♥ A 3
♦ A 9 7   ♣ J 8

SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
1S Dbl 2S 3H
?
What call would you make?
3S or 4S? We like 4S, but it is a close decision. Some experts play a double in this position as a game try. Good bid, but we don’t play it.
Q 5 – North-South vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q 10 4   ♥ K 10 5 3
♦ A J 6 3   ♣ A

Right-hand opponent opens 1H. What call would you make?
Double, 1S, and 1NT are all flawed, but any of them could be the winner on a given day. We have a slight preference for 1S.
Q 6 – East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ 10 7 3   ♥ A 10 9 6 2
♦ Q 8 7 4   ♣ 8

Partner opens 1D and right-hand opponent overcalls 1S. What call would you make?
Double, negative, to bring hearts into the picture. Should partner bid clubs you can correct to diamonds and put down a pretty good dummy.
