Here we show the influence of command |\handskip|, that adds some extra
space between the card diagram and the bidding diagram. In the 2nd diagram
the negative value diminishes the distance. Because it is within braces,
the length change is local and the normal value is automatically restored
afterwards. In the 4th diagram we add |3em| extra space

Because the previously saved bidding diagram is used, setting |bidfirst|
has no influence on the output\ldots
