from arriving at the proper con- tract.
Do you know that aimless overcails are more often an aid to your opponent than a detriment?
In the first place, as soon as you overcall, it warns them that they
must account for the losers in that suit before they go far with their bidding. Unless your suit in solid, i it may work out to the advantage of the declarer, when your partner opens that suit because you have bid it..
The Bidding While North has a weak four- card suit, his hand is not strong enough to make an original bid of one no trump; therefore, he | must open his best four-card suit. South's bid of two hearts is simply a chance-giving bid. North showed that he held a four-card sult originally.
West's overcall of two spades is hig ruination. North now bids two no trump and South, of course, must take him back to three
hearts.
When North persists with three no trutip, South wisely goes to four hearts. East did very well not to double the contract.
The Play
East opens the nine of spades, the top of his partner's suit, and that finishes the hand for East
Today's Contract Problem
South as the contract, at Thrdo no trump, Weal opens the jack of spades, the queen i played from dummy. East wins with the aco and re- turns the five of spades, Now what in the most important. card to the declarer, and how should ko play the hand?_ 4KQI
