This is the third article ex- plaining the hold-up no trump. To-day we find the declarer ̈em- ploring the hold-up, not because he is afraid of the suit opened, as in the two previous articles, but because he wishes to keep his opponents in the lead...
The Bidding

What is the secret of those few youthful-looking elderly men who are always goed-humouredly telling you how marvellously it they feel?
