A Chicago reader submits a hand was with an interesting observation. He says: "I often think that authorities We would like to comment on should advocate two different sets of South's opening bid. Actually it was opening bids. One set of light open-perfectly sound, and we ourselves ing bids should be used only by good players; but for those who are unable to get the most out of their cards, I would recommend much stronger opening bids. For example:

would not hesitate to open the hand. However, we would have passed our partner's one-spade response, since he had passed originally, a game would appear exceedingly remote and therefore there would be no point in continuing to bid. As to the play, in a hand of this type we would never touch tramps, but instead try to make as many of them as possible by raffing diamonds in dummy and spades in our hand. Had South followed this line of play, he would have been set only one trick.
