Duplication Of Values

"Duplication of values" is the in-, 1 diamond Pass 1 spade 2 hearts sidious Dr. Fu Manchu of contract. Fortunately, during the past few 2 no trump Pass 3 no trump Pass years, valuable bidding conven-Pass tions have been devised which have greatly reduced the said insidious- ness. The four-five no trump con- vention almost knocked Old Man Duplication out of the ring, in so far as slam contracts were cerned. No longer was it "merely unfortunate" for a player to find himself in a slam with two against him, partner having laid down a useless K-Q-J-10 of a suit instead of the all powerful ace. Asking bids delivered another solar plexus blow. But, tough old war- rior that he is, Mr. Duplication still is in the ring, groggy and punch drunk, but still dangerous.

Naturally, West refused to open his singleton heart against such bidding. Had partner doubled the final contract, West would have had no choice. The heart lead would have-been-a-command.In-the- absence of the double, however, and in view of the opponents' ob- vious preparedness for opening, West chose jack of clubs.

North had fallen victims to "duplication of values." He had considered his heart king a very valuable card at no trump, In other words, he figured that South might require aid in double stopping the opponents' heart suit, and there he was with

the big fat king with which to oblige him.

I have found this type of reason- ing, illogical as it is, all too pre- valent. South bid his two no trump quite freely and with no idea that! he would find heart strength in

and he alone was equipped to han- Tule the heart suit. Hence, North's king, far from being a vital card, was to some degree, at least, dupli- cation. North should have realised that, with his partner bidding two no trump directly over two hearts and himself holding the king, & heart lead would be far from cer- tain. It was far more important for North to show a rébiddable spade suit than to have attached such, importance to a king in an opponent's suit. Obviously, four. spades would have been a laydown?
