CONTRACT BRIDGE
Secretary. American Bridge Leaguo.
By W. E. McKenney.
Under the writer's system of contract bidding, the requirements for original bids are slightly higher than those used in most other systems, due to the fact that the two and one-half quick tricks. required to make an opening bid No must be real quick tricks. combination of honors such as king, Jack, 10; king, jack; or ace, jack, 10, are used to arrive at the necessary two and one-half quick tricks,
D
It naturally follows that the stronger the requirements are for an original bid, the weaker part- ner'a hand may be to keep the bidding open.
It Is
conceded fact that two
tricks quick
up- posite two quick trieks will not produce a game, although they may produce a partial score. Under the McKenney system of contraet bidding it would be pos- sible for hands of this type to be passed out due to the fact that neither partner would hold twa and one-half quick tricks. There fore in rubber bridge a player is in no danger in requiring this real In for opening bits. strength dupilcate contract occasionally, but rarely, players using high re- quirements for opening bids will pass a hind out that will produce A plus score, but until the scoring of duplicate contract is changed to make it a good duplicate gnnie. one should not change their sys fem for this particular phase of the rame.
Keeping Original One Bits Open for Your Partner
made na When partner has original bid of que no trump, as stated above. he informs you that he has a definite pitch count dis- tributed in three sails or two and ne-half quick tricks, am in neither case a good biddable four- card auit. Assuming that there has loven intervening bid, you should support partner's no trump to two no trump with a combined count of 22, and to three ne tromp with a combined count of 24.
If you take out a bid of que no trump with two of a suit. you ad- vise partner that your hand is weak and that you will lose less tricks at the suit you name than he will playing it it no trump. It you have a strong four-card ma- jor auit or a good five-card suit, Take partner but with a jump bid to three of a suit so that he will know you are not bidding from wenkness.
i
When partner has made original bid of one of a suit un- der this system of bidding, you must remember that partner may be bidding his four-card suit first, but he has told you that he hold two and one-half quick tricks. The majority of hands will pro- duce at least two add played in either direction unless the hands definitely establish themselves. Furthermore as, under this sys tem of bidding, two bids are not made unless they are power house hands, you must give partner a chance to rebid,
When holding one and one-half tricks and a biddable suit you may be able to use the One Over One which will be explained in our next article. But at all times, when holding at least two queens or a king and a jack, or an ace, give partner a chance to rebid by bidding one no trump, which is n denial response to all original suit bids of one. IL immediately warns partner that from your hand you cannot see any possi- bility of game. Occasionally it may hold one and one-half qulek tricks, but it does not contain one and one-half quick tricks and a biddable suit or two quick tricks. The point that the writer wish- es to bring out in to-day's article is that original suit bids of one are kept open by partner with a one no trump bid even though the hand does not contain one and one-half tricks, but does contain the equivalent of two queens.
