  1. When West opens 1S what would you do as North?
  2. If North doubles 1S, what would you, as South, bid?
  3. If South ends up in 4H what would you lead if you were West?
  4. Should West ever be declarer in 2S? How and why would that happen?
  5. If West is declarer in 2S, what should North lead? And after North makes the opening lead, how should he then continue?

Have a think about these questions before the next article ... which will follow in a few day's time. If you like, send me your thoughts beforehand at villyn@xtra.co.nz
