Bidding Quiz # 2
                          Rebidding after a Negative Response

Matchpoints, neither side vulnerable, the bidding has gone: 

 SOUTH
         WEST
                  NORTH
                          EAST
 --
         --
                  2 C*
                          Pass
 2D **
         Pass
                  2H 
                          Pass
 ?


*strong, artificial
**negative 

   In Bridge World Standard, when responder to two clubs answers two diamonds (negative), then rebids
three clubs over opener's two of a major, that rebid is a "double negative." This three-club rebid
distinguishes a really bad hand from one with a little something. The double-negative rebid allows the
bidding to stop at three of opener's original major suit. Responder shows values by bidding anything else.
With a natural club bid, the best he can do is stall with two notrump. With support for opener's major, he
can raise directly (a double raise shows strong trumps, and little else) or jump in a short suit, a splinter
raise. 

   As South, what call do you make with each of the following: 

(a)  10 6 4    J 8 7 5    J 6 2    8 6 3 

(b)  10 6 4 3    J 8 7    9 7 5 4 3    2 

(c)  10 6 4    J 8 7 5    J 6 2    K 6 3 

(d)  K 10 6 4    J 8 7    9 7 5 4 3    2 

(e)  10 6 4 3    2    J 8 7    K J 9 6 5 

(f)  10 6 4    7 2    J 8 7    K J 9 6 5 

   (Solutions posted with next set of questions, approximately the fifteenth of the next odd-numbered
                     month. To see the solutions, when posted, click here.)
