Some problems from the Grand National Teams.

1. favorable, you hold

    KJ10x A Kxxx xxxx

   You	LHO	CHO	RHO
   1	1	2	3
   Pass	Pass	Dbl	Pass
   ?

   Yes, you've taken one or two questionable actions so far, but what now?

2. Assign the blame for missing a pretty good slam:

   xxx Ax AQJx AJ109		AKJxxxx xx x Qxx

   West	East
   1NT (15-17)	2
   2	4
   4 (last train)	4
   Pass

3.  

   	109xx AKJ102 x KQJ
   		7x Qxx A8xx xxxx

   Declarer	Dummy
   1	1
   1	2*
   2	2
   3	4
   Pass

   Opening lead is the 3, fourth best. Declarer wins and immediately plays a diamond. Over to you.

4.  

   	AJ76 xx 9x AKQJx
   	98x KQx KQ10x 5xx

   Dummy	Declarer
   1	1
   1	1NT
   2NT	3NT
   Pass

   Opening lead is the 9. Plan the play. Assume a first round lead to a red face card holds.
