By -OSWALD JACOBY [ORTH might avoid a free bid of two diamonds if he had nut passed originally Ordinarily, this bid would compel South to bid again. In other words, North's response of Two diamonds may push South to three clubs even when South has a near-minimum opening bid
There is no ruch Drublent after North has passed originally South is at liberty to pass two diamonds if
he has a next-minimum oveding bid
He will know that there is no game

Dummy played the nine. East covered with the queen. und South won with the ace of clubs, Declarer next led a club to dummy's king and returned a diamond.
West was end-played for the sec ond tline in the same hand. He could take his two diamond tricks. but then either a Agathe or heart return would give declarer a free Gness--and the ninth trick.
