West does not wish to sacrifice if the opponents stop under a Slam. He realises that a possi- ble act of 500 points is a bad sacrifice against a non-vulner- able game bid at Howell Match Point play.
2-North naturally wants to con-
tract for at least a Small Slami and possibly a Grand Slam after his partner's very strong bid. He makes the correct bid -an Overcail in the opponents' bid suit.
3-South's response is fairly ob- vious, He wishes to paint a fairly accurate picture of his distribution but does not wish to, encourage a Grand Slam un- less North wishes to bid it by: himself.
14-Since the opponents have con-
tracted for a Slam which will give them a score of more than 900 points, West now decides to attempt to take the sacrifice. After his partner's Overcall he feels fairly certain that six hearts will not be defeated more than three tricks, or 900 points, and a set of 300 points, or less, would naturally be mors than worthwhile.
