World's Champion Player and Greatest Card Analyst

DOUBLING A SLAM CONTRACT

When two good teams meet at the Bridge table they naturally have a great deal of respect for each other's game. Thus, when one good team reaches a Slam con- tract, their opponents will not Arbitrarily double this contract merely because, they have

No pair is going to reach a Slam and go down more than one, or possibly two tricks at the outside, and so are definitely the percentages against the Double.

I have discussed at other times Mr. Theodore Lightner's conven- tion that when the defending side, at some time or other, bids a suit| and the opponents reach a Small Slam in another suft, a double of;
