Lesson 2(g) - Test yourself on what you've learnt so far
HOW’S MY PROGRESS AFTER LESSON TWO?
- What range of points does an opening of one of a suit indicate?
- Which are the three balanced hand shapes?
- How many HCP required to open 1NT?
- And to open 2NT?
- What do you open with a balanced 22+ HCP? An unbalanced 22+?
- What are you required to do if partner responds 3NT, or 6NT or 7NT, to any NT opening?
- And if partner replies 2NT to a 1NT opening?
- Or replies 4NT to an opening of 1/2 NT?
- Or responds 5NT to a 1/2 NT opening?
- Thus, can you work out which of the responses in 6-9 are ‘terminal’? (= 'This is it, partner.')
- Which are ‘invitational’? (= 'Pass, with a bare minimum, partner. Go on with better.')
- And which are ‘forcing’? (= 'Don't pass, partner. You must bid - the auction isn't over yet.')
- Which member of the partnership, after a notrump opening, is the master of the auction?
- Which suit does the opening leader against an uncontested notrump contract normally select? Why?

a. KQJ74
b. KQT74
c. KQ742
d. KJ97
e. QJT8
f. QJ7642
g. JT964
h. QT87?
- How many top tricks is a holding of AQ62 opposite dummy’s ♣K753?
- What is the maximum number of tricks with this holding at notrumps? How?
- What about a holding of AQ3 opposite dummy’s ♣K654 at notrumps? How?
- What particular care must be taken with this holding when K is dummy’s only high card?
