CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W, E. McKennev
I really believe that more points are lost annually at contract bridge through chrelessness than through bad play.
You can exeuse a poor play on the grounds of lack of experience. but it is difficult to excuse a caro icas play. Nothing but careless- ness will provent you from making the following a grand slam on hand:
The Bidding
South, the dealer, opened the West, contracting with one club. who was not vulnerable, over- called with one diamond. North bid one spade-oven though West has interposed with a bid, North's bid of one spade is still a one over one force.
North realizes that there must be a slam in the hand if South can
make an original bid and is de- sirous of securing additional In- formation from South, so he makes this simple one over one force. East bid, two diamonds. South bids three clubs, which now elimin- ates the possibility of a weak club bld. West bids four diamonds, and North goes to seven clubs.
The Play
The king of diamonds was led, declarer discarding a heart from
