The hand is interesting, but I do not think it is particularly dif- ficult. although very instructive. į As Mr. Trunk remarke, the Four- Five Notrump Convention does not apply for the reason that the Slam is baged far more on distri- bution than upon the possession of honours.
Actually, however, the oppon- ents' bids in this case should fur- nish the key to the correct final contract.
