(1) A's opening call

West

(2) If A opens one no-trumps and Pass

Y calls two spades, what should Pass

B call? Pass

In second position East should have opened with one spade, and his pass allowed South to make a lead- directing bid of one diamond. West

(3) If B passes two spades and Z calls three spades, what must A do? Supposing A doubles three spades, what must B do?

JAYESSE
