CONTRACT KEEP UPKEEP DOWN CONSIGNEES NOTICE P&O BRITISH-INDIA APCAR AND
BRIDGE
By W, E. McKenney The most abused bid in contract bridge is the game demand fore- ing bid Partnerships are wreck- ed and games are lost by forcing bids made by unthinking partnera.
Before making a forcing bid, stop and think of the terrific re- sponsibility that you place, not on- ly on your partner but on yourself.... When you make a game demand bid, you insist that your partner} keep the bidding open until the final declaration is a game-going contract, and he must do this his hand is absolutely trickless.

You have no right to pass, after once making an original forcing two bid, or a jump shift response, until a game contract is reached. Unless your hand meets the ex: ceptionally strong requirements]: for forcing bide, play safe and simply make a constructive bid.
If partner has anything, he will respond with a constructive bid and you can safely and surely ar. rive at the best spot at which the hand should be played.
Avoid psychics-they ruin part- nerships and lose more points than they gain. The one over onc should only be made with a bidd- able suit. Don't make a psychic one over one simply to force your partner. Let him know
nat he
can count on a biddable, suit from you.·.
In all my bride. e during 1932, I saw but two hands that I felt were strong eno“,
