Para IA Раба INT Pass (7)

ANSWER: Your correct bid is to pass. Your only excuse for bidding over one club in the first place lay in the fact that maybe your partner could. raise spades. Now when he bids two notrump, you had best quit before you are doubled.

Score 100% for pass, 0 for any other bid.

QUESTION NO. 895

Oswald Jacoby is your partner and

West opened the King of hearts

and. shifted to his fourth-best diamond. Declarer won with dummy's Ace, played the
