Slam Bidding
Judging by my correspondence, interest in slam bidding is unabat- ed. Every week I receive more let tera about it than upon any other subject.
It is perhaps a tribute that this feature, which is really a side line, should have assumed such promin-

Score, game all: West deals. De- ence. I like to take the view that tails of the preliminary bidding are it is due not to avarice but to the not given but the final round was sporting instincts of people who West “Six Clubs,” South “Six love to take riska, even, sometimes, Hearts," doubled by West, hair-raising risks
No doubt South's bid was eseri, ficial and he might, and should, have been two down.
The amusing side is that well-bid and justifiably bid slams often fail to materialize, while daringly called hands sometimes meet with unde his Contract and an overtrick! served success.
Here is an example from Transvaal, South Africa:

Yet, amazing to relate, he
West led the Ace of Diamonds. the South ruffing, led the Ace of Hearts. He now had two entries in ummy with the Knave and 8 of Putting North in, he led the Quee of Diamonds, established the su and got rid of all his losers. Tru wonderful to make a grand slam against three Aces and three Kinga!

Why West elected to open with the Ace of Diamonds is not disclos led. But he probably thought
Chib lead hopeless and the Diamond Ace better than the Spade:
