How's my progress after Lesson Six? 1. When does one member of the partnership become the master of the auction?
2. When opener bids notrumps, who is the master of the auction?
3. Give two general examples of a limit bid by responder.
4. What strength opening is described by the terms mini, midi and maxi?
5. At what point in the auction does opener count distributional points?
6. Indicate whether the following rebids by opener in the sequences below show a mini, midi or maxi - or possibly overlap two categories.
a. 1¨ : 1NT, 2©
b. 1ª : 1NT, 2§
c. 1§ : 1NT, 3§
d. 1¨ : 1NT, 3§
e. 1¨ : 2¨, 2NT
f. 1© : 1NT, 2©
g. 1ª : 2ª, 4ª
h. 1§ : 2NT, 3©
7. Indicate
a. which of the above rebids are terminal, forcing responder to pass.
b. which of the above rebids responder may choose to pass or bid, and which may therefore (rather awkwardly) be called invitational descriptions.
c. which of the above rebids are forcing, requiring responder to bid again.
d. which of the above rebids are forcing to game, so that neither partner can stop bidding before game is reached.
8. Give two general examples of occasions when it is not best to draw trumps immediately?
9. What way have you discovered of getting rid of losers?
10. What way have you discovered of turning losers into winners to create extra tricks?
