The bidding:
South's opening bid of one notrump was one of those so-called "brilliant" bids which really served no purpose. From then ...on, the ́bidding developed, in fairly normal - fashion until East / bid five clubs. At this point South seemed to think the opponents. «could make their contract, and hence went on to dafendiye contract
HIM LARE VALIER FOUR-ACES SYSTEM
ACE KING QUEEN I JALK
East and West did not choose to
double, and were perfectly content to set him one trick, which gave them at most good a very
score since If five clubs were tables
bid, the South player chose to double.
