Players take a class in bridge with Steve Becker at the Greenwich YWCA in October 2017.

When it comes to in-person duplicate bridge games, more and more card players from Greenwich are finding their home away from home at two clubs in White Plains, N.Y.

Greenwich players who placed in a duplicate game during the past week in face-to-face competition were:

The Bridge Deck: Friday, July 7, Faye Marino, playing with Rich Laufer fourth, Strat A; Mary Scarfi, playing with Robin Brown, third, Strat B; Lois Spagna and Ruth Chizzini, first, Strat C; Linda Otness, playing with Michael Zoulis, third, Strat B. Monday, July 11, Linda Otness, playing with Chuck Lamprey, second, Strat A. Tuesday, July 12, Mary Albertell and Lois Spagna, first, Strat C.

The Harte’s Club: Thursday, July 7, Vivian Wu, playing with Eileen O’Neill, first, Strat A. Tuesday, July 12, Betty Cutting, playing with Kay Schulle, third, Strat A.

Today’s quiz: Here is another in the current series of quizzes on forcing and nonforcing bids. In each of the following four problems, determine whether the last bid made by your partner can be passed, in which case your answer should be nonforcing, or whether you are required to bid again, in which case you should answer forcing.

1. You-1S; Partner-2C; You-2H; Partner-2NT.

2. Opponent-1D; You-1S; Opponent-Pass; Partner-3S.

3. You-1H; Partner-1S; You-2H; Partner-3D;

4. Partner-1C; You-1H; Partner-1S.

1. Nonforcing. A notrump resonse by partner at the cheapest level available is not considered a new suit and is therefore nonforcing. Partner’s two notrump bid here shows 10 to 12 points along with a lack of support for your two suits and allows you to pass if you hold an absolute minimum for your opening bid. If you happen to play two-over-one forcing to game, then you would not be permitted to pass on this auction.

2. Nonforcing. A jump raise of an overcall can be played two ways. Depending on partnership agreement, the three spade bid here would be either invitational to game or a preemptive bid, but in neither case would it be a forcing bid.

3. Forcing. When responder bids a new suit opposite a hand that has opened the bidding, opener must bid again.

4. Nonforcing. Partner has bid a new suit, but since he is the opener and has not jump-shifted, you are permitted to pass. You should do so, however, only if you have 6 or 7 points and at least three-card support for partner’s second suit.
