Several years ago Mr. Culbert son originated and developed the forcing principle and logical deduction of the Ap- a necessary

proach System, which has now be come standardised, and forma the basis of any system of Bridge.

The "forcing" requires the part- nership with strong hands to keep the bidding open until game IN renched.

The first object in this

is to ensure a selection of the best bid of the combined hands.) without risking a pass by either partner the second to reach a small or grand slam ty scientific bidding.

The forcing bid is must valuable in Contract as it conveys the exact number of honour tricka held and the distribution, but care must br. tuken that it is not abused.

There are eight forcing situa- Lions, of which five are forcing for game only, while the remaining three are forcing even after game has been reached. These are:

1. Opening bids of two in a suit. 2. The jump take-out in a
