Problem 1
- Gord McOrmond: 3C – LTC of 5. Reversing might open up a can of worms.
- Catherine Mustafa: 2D – You want to hear more from responder and no stopper in spades.
Problem 2
- Gord McOrmond: 1N – Nice to have extras when I only have one stopper
Problem 3
- Gord McOrmond: 2S – Don’t like the vibes (on a bidding challenge). NV and East is sitting over our spade honours.
Problem 4
- Gord McOrmond: 3D – I am willing to possible give up on a club cuebid, to look for grand slam. 2A and the DK.
- dick vission: 3H – splinter
Problem 5
- Duncan Smith: 2N – I expect a total score of about 225.
- Gord McOrmond: Pass – 3S P P, back to me?
- Catherine Mustafa: Double – Double allows for partner to bid a stopper in clubs or find a fit in D’s or H’s.
- Bob MacDonald: Double – If partner bids 3c, correct to 3d
