South, the dealer, does not have the required strength to make an original bid and should West passe3, North is third hand- he has two quick tricks, but no biddable suit. While not a particularly good hand, it must not be passed third hand. The question is what to open the bidding with. Personally I pre- fer to open with one club, and if my partner responds with either major, I will p. 3s.
When this hand was played the North player decided to open with a psychic diamond bid, reasoning that if his partner overcalled with either major he would pass, Thurs., 23rd March midnight.while if partner bid two dia-

Let us go back to the original third hand bid of one club. East, who has a club overcall himself, would pas the bid. South has, a fair hand-if his partner, has a good hand, there is A possible chance of going some place on the hand, but if partner bas simply made a protective third hand bid, there is certainly no hope on the bond.
The best way to gather infor- mation is to put in a one over one force, therefore South overcalled with one spade, and while North holds more than normal, support, he must remember that ho hag opened with a weak hand. support spades now, or to make any kind of a re-bid would inform his partner, that he held a good hand and that there were hopes of going somewhere on the band.

This in not true with North's cards. He has a hand that, un- der mast systema, would be parsed third hand-now he has a chance to make a good parf score and should leave w enough alone. His proper fign-off de-i elaration 19-a pasa.
The Play
The heart was opened by West, which was won in dummy with the acé. The ace of diamonds was cashed and then the jack of clubs led. East covered, South winning with the nee. A diamond was ruffed and the ten of clubs returned, East winning with the king. East cashed his queen of hearts. If he now returned a club for partner to ruff, the da clarer will make three odd, as he will discard his losing heart. If East returns the five of spades the declarer will have to go up with the ace so as to be able to ruff a diamond, but will be held to two odd on the hand.
