CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous
Contract Problem-- Just because you make an origi- nal bid of one no trump-the strongest original one bid in the Sims system of bidding-it does not neccaanrily mean that the con tract should be played at no trump A bid on the part of an opponent may upset your well-inid plans or warn you away from no trump and into a suit declaration.
Or, like the declarer in to-day's hand, you may stumble into the proper declaration.
The Bidding. South is justified in making an original bid of one no trump In preference to a spade, due to the tenace position he holds. How ever, with West's hand, I would prefer the negative double.
