A PSYCHIC BID EXAMPLE LESSONS OF PLAY.
(By CAPT, LINDSAY MUNDY).
During the early ties in the competition for the Portland Club Cup there have been some interest- ing hands. The following hand afforded a curious example of a paychic bld, which actually ́· auc- ceeded in the object with which it was made, namely, stalling off the powerful hand from a final declara- tion in Hearts, only to force a notrump declaration, in which there was a lay-down Grand Slam.

In Room I, South opened with One No-Trump, and West ventured on Two Clubs. North South were not vulnerable, but East-West were. North thereupon, relying on the soundness of his partner's No-Trump bids, elected to double, getting them down two tricks, and Įso scoring 500 points. It will be noticed that South had no more strength than was disclosed by his opening bid, and that East had more than West could safely count on, and that North-South could not make. the game, so that the 500 ¡was all proût.
