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
