Indeed, East's silence suggests that North has some values though admittedly they might bj in spades. If the points are evenly split, South should bj keen to protect and contest the part-score. With HAND A South reopens with 2H, showing his strong suit. With HAND B a take-out double brings both minor suits into play, and is preferable to 2C. ——————————————————————————————————2/6—— Fun and Games 450 TO LIST YOUR EVENTS CALL 01734 351052 PLEASE GIVE AT LEAST A MONTH'S NOTICE Your Life Fun & Games Digitisjt GroovesP479 Teletext 479 Jun 1 03:54:01 —————————— —— THE BRIDGE BOOK QUIZ No 55 - PROBLEM S 2 S A Q 9 8 3 H 9 5 2 H A Q 7 D J 5 4 3 W E D 7 C K 9 4 3 2 C A 10 6 5 South West North East - - NO 1S 2D NO NO Double NO 3C End North leads D8 (his partner's suit).
