In Bridge it is generally the player who holds the majority of Açes and Kings, reinforced with favourable distribution, who occu- ples the driver's seat during the bidding. Sometimes distribution alone. Dermite a player to dictate largely the final contract either by' driving the opponents to a. con- tract which they cannot make or accepting a paying penalty In lieu [of a greater loss. However, when a player decides to drive his op ponents to the breaking point, ho should be aure that they do not have an even better alternative;

destination than the one which was their original goal.

Take as an example the hand dis- cussed to-day, which was played in a Duplicate match participated in by some very strong players in New! York City.
