The baffling question: "Which is more important, the bidding or the play?" dates from the earliest days of auc-] tion' bridge. Even as applied to that game it was difficult to: answer. What, then, must be the difficulty of finding the true answer at contract, in which precise bidding must be backed up by sound and, often, brilli- ant play? Whenever I am asked this standard question I am tempted to paraphrase the
old saw and ask in return: "Which is more important, the chicken or the egg?"
