Under the ordinary system of contract bidding, the original bid- der, we will say, opens with one club. If partner overcalled with one heurt, he would be announcing a weak hand-one not strong enough to jump two hearts. But when the one over one forcing bid is used, a bid of one heart over one club might signify a minimum opposite a minimum, or it might mean two power-house hands.
The left hand opponent of the player who has made the one over one forcing bid is afraid to step in with a fair hand for fear that he will be between these two power- house bands. It is not until the
