In response to its good-15-to-bad-18 notrump opening, Bridge World Standard uses Jacoby transfer
bids: two diamonds promises hearts; two hearts promises spades. On the next round, responder may
invite game by raising the major or bidding two notrump. Alternatively, the transferor may force to game
with a natural bid in a new suit, bid three notrump (usually 5-3-3-2 distribution) to offer a choice of
games, or invite slam: with four notrump (natural), by bidding game in the major (usually denies a side
void or singleton), or by jumping in a new suit (shows shortness in that suit).
As South, what call do you make with each of the following:
(a) Q 6 K 8 5 4 2 A 9 3 8 6 4
(b) 6 4 K 8 5 4 2 A Q 9 6 8 6
(c) Q 7 K 8 5 4 2 A 9 6 3 J 10
(d) A Q K 8 5 4 2 A 9 6 3 K 10
(e) A 3 K 8 5 4 2 A Q 9 6 K 10
(f) -- K 8 5 4 2 A Q 9 6 K 10 8 2
