CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Solution to Previous Contract Problem
A great deal has been said re- garding biddablo.sults in contract and some authorities have not fairly high standards for four card biddable suite. However, in modern contract we find it very difficult to adhere to any particu lar rule govorning biddable suite. What you should try to do is to find n ft with your partner.
