POP-UP WINDOW WITH BIDDING TIPS: WHAT IS IT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most complicated phase to learn for a player is the bidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, it is essential that your partner and you have a perfect\nunderstanding of the bids made by each other. Otherwise you will have trouble\nfinding which contract to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Funbridge, everything is done to help you!<\/strong> You don\u2019t need to know bidding systems by\nheart to play your first game of bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very first version of Funbridge on computers already included what we call the \u2018pop-up window with bidding tips\u2019. The aim is simple: it<\/strong> gives the meaning of each bid made at the table<\/strong>, whether we are talking about the bid you intend to make, the one your partner has just played or the one your opponents have just made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The window helps you choose the right bid based on\nyour hand\u2026<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"S\" At least 5 cards<\/span>
\"H\" At most 6 cards<\/span>
\"D\" At most 8 cards <\/span>
\"C\" At most 8 cards<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n\n\n\n

You must have a hand of 12-23 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it meets these requirements, then you can confirm the bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 and also gives you an idea of what the hand held by the player who made the last bid looks like.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You bid 1S <\/strong>and your\npartner responded with the 2S <\/strong>bid. What does it\nmean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your partner has 6-10 points<\/strong> and the cards below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"S\" 3 – 5 cards<\/span>
\"H\" At most 6 cards<\/span>
\"D\" At most 6 cards <\/span>
\"C\" At most 6 cards<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n\n\n\n

The window shows that your partner and you have a spade fit (8 cards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you have to do is continue using the information given by the pop-up window with bidding tips to determine the best contract to make on the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHICH BIDDING SYSTEMS <\/strong>ARE INCLUDED?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
