3S – this hand has almost no value now
If 3D is forcing to game then
3NT – important to let partner know about the wasted values in diamonds
I agree, 3D should be game forcing.
I agree with Ken. you must discount the duamonds to 1 point making the hand almost worthless. so ou shod sin off at 3 Sp
3dia is self splinter ( 16+hcp total points 18+ )
I would take 3d as forcing
no value of bid D 3 S is forcing
3D is not a splinter bid you need lessons
on hand 1 assuming 3d is game force i would bid 4s
fast arrival – shows no interest in any further exploration
3D is splinter, but it still leave doubt whether 3S or 4S is the weakest bid, depending on partner agreement. And also, what’s the scoring, IMP or MP? If MP, it make more sense to try 3NT(and in MP, also more likely partner would pass it)
4sp
Depends on your agreement of splinter bids. Double jump or unnecessary single jump? And game force or not. I play splinters non forcing to game and the bid here is clearly 3S.
Depends on strength promised by splinter bid
don’t think enough value to go to game
Bid 3 NT.
3 S
My hand is of no value plus my spades are not good
3 S
that’s all !
I also would bid 3NT
3SPADES
3S

Thanks!!!
These are great quizzes/challenges and wonderful lessons!!!
…3D – forcing 4414? 4315? 4216…would bid 3D with this? …No. bad holding in diamond… still 4s may only bring 9 tricks holding XXX in Clubs… 3Nt looks correct.
4 sp
Another excellent quiz. Very instructive.
3D by North is a jump, showing at least 15 total points. With 8 hcp, no distribution points, no proper stop in Hearts (unless Q in the 3-suit H can be considered partial stop) South can bid 3S – that will be both safe and game forcing.
Vanue of South’s hand imust be devaluated when North . A Spade contract is preferrred to a noj trump one knowing the fit. How would yoiu get back to dummy fojr cashing the two diamo.nd extra winners iif you cannot ruff ?
3 d is forcing with good fit in spades- I would bid 4 spades
Me too
3 S – this let’s partner know the hand looks minimal to him.
With not a ruff in sight why play in Spades? Given likely Diamond lead plenty of time to set up dummy suit, 3N looks best
I would bid 4 d
3S as not enough points for game
4sp
3S hand is not worth to game
3 d is not splinter but jump reverse. Some experts call it mini splinter.
4 spades
