In view of the fact that South had a very strong hand and that his partner had made a response that he was well able to support, the unconventional Force with the diamond suit was very fine as it af- forded an opportunity for further exchange of valuable information before the bidding got too high. If North raised diamonds, South could always return to hearts. South's four notrump bid was conventional; showing two Aces and the King of a bid suit, and North's conventional response of five notrump showed the other two Aces. South, now knowing that North had the dia- mond Ace, showed his strong heart As I have stated, the contract support. by bidding six hearts. here was seven hearts, a perfectly North had not at this point shown logical contract in any Bridge gem nearly as much a strength as he held, except the artificial game based on so that he was fully justified in match-point scoring.
