1D/1S, a rebid of 2H requires more dia-
monds than hearts and 18 points. This is
because partner has to bid at the 3 level if he
or she prefers the first suit.
c. Bid NT according to point count (H) with no
clear suit fit.
d. Make a forcing or invitational rebid if the
hand is strong enough.

a. When a slam is hoped for, bid 4NT to check
the number of Aces in partner's hand.
Answers are: 5C with 0 or 4 Aces, 5D with 1,
5H with 2, 5S with 3.
7. Doubles:
a. Negative double or “sputnik”: after an
opening in a minor by partner and an
intervention of 1S, respond with a negative
double to indicate that you would have bid
1H without an intervention and you are not
strong enough to bid 2H.
b. Take-out double: if partner has not bid, with
support for every suit other than the one
opened, double an opening bid for take-out.
c. Penalty double. Double for penalties with a
strong hand
• if partner has bid and/or
• if the opponent's opening bid was 1NT
and/or
• if the bidding has reached the 3 level and/
or you have many cards in the suit bid by
the opponents.
