SOLUTIONS FOR:
Todd Holes
Glen Ellyn IL 60137
U.S.A.
PROBLEM A: 2 Notrump. Vul at IMPs, so must make a move. I worry that the ambiguous 2
or even 3
may win. But 2NT is safer.
PROBLEM B: 3 Spades. Moth-eaten suit. Hate this.
PROBLEM C: 4 Spades. What else? Seriously. I suppose some panelist might walk the dog with 2
?
PROBLEM D: 2 Clubs. I know, I know . . . 8xxxx is a stopper. But if that's true, then Qxx is support!
PROBLEM E: 3 Notrump. Coin flip. Not sold on this. I really liked 3
--- keeping the Moysian in play.
PROBLEM F: 2 Hearts. This will be close with 3
. The Qx and fact it is MP convince me to go low.
PROBLEM G: 3 Notrump. Difficult.
PROBLEM H: Spade 6. Who knows? Have I mentioned that I hate lead problems?
