THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1933,
CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
It is a well established principle of the one over one system that opening bida in third or fourth po- sition may be weaker than a first or second position. This applies particularly to third hand bids,
and many experts will now open! in third position with very weak hands.
It follows, as a corollary, that a player having opened in third po-| sition with a hand of even less than minimum strength is not obliged to recognize a one over one force when made by the original dealer.
The dealer, having passed at his first opportunity, thereby loses bis right to force.

This hand was played in a re-i cent duplicate match. Many players passed the hand out for they could not find the require- ments for an opening bid accord- ing to their system, ...---
However, when the North hand was held by a player familiar with the latest developments of the one over one system he opened with a bid of one club in third position. East had two high card tricks but no biddable suit and was therefore obliged to pass,
South responded with one spade" which, strictly speaking, was a
